BRITAIN’S POSITION IN THE WORLD BEFORE THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA

BRITAIN’S POSITION IN THE WORLD AFTER THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA

But the history of Britain as a leader in the world's affairs (…) begins with the reign of Elizabeth. The reason can be read upon the map. Map-makers, whether in ancient Alexandria or in medieval monasteries, placed our island on the north-west edge of all things. But, after the discovery of America and the ocean routes to Africa and the East, Britain lay in the centre of the new maritime movement. This change in her geographic outlook was employed to good purpose by her inhabitants, who (…) made her the chief seat of her new trans-oceanic commerce and of the finance and industry that sustained it.

Thus, in early times, the relation of Britain to the sea was passive and receptive; in modern times, active and acquisitive. In both it (the sea) is the key to her story.

(Trevelyan, 1959, pp. 13,16)
