So if you look at, there's this incredible map of global shipping in 1937.

And there's these little ant lines of ships going out.

And one of the strongest ant lines is going down to Argentina and South America from Britain.

And that's because Britain owns most of Argentina. It owns huge, great farming estates and ranches. It owns the railway system. It So you don't even need an empire. You just need the facilities that overseas trade and possessions can give you. And Britain not only has the largest navy, it also has the largest merchant navy. It has 33% of the world's merchant shipping and access to a further 50%.
