Basically, the geographical location of the British is of great strategic importance because it facilitates access to the most important international trade routes and allows to conquer overseas markets. The British nation is positioned between north and south of Europe and has navigation available through the Atlantic Ocean, which serves as a route to the European, African, Asian and American continents.
In addition, it is the closest European nation to the United States, which has privileged England since Mercantilism to the present day.
