The 18th Century | Seapower to Superpower

This episode is concerned primarily with the battles between France, the greatest land power, and Britain, the greatest seapower, for world dominance. Program two includes the Battle for Quebec and the American Revolution and traces the decisive role played by naval power in both conflicts.
England's Royal Navy preserved its empire and gave it military dominance of the world for more than 350 years. In the 20th century, that dominance would pass from Britain to America and eventually, from sea to space. The English language owes its success as the world language to this fundamental military reality -- whoever controls the great commons of the sea and space dominates the world.

I applaude the extensive use of an economic perspective to the discussion in this video documentary. You did an absolutely superb job of blending military power, politics, economics, and most of all a human perspective. I commend you on a fresh and very comprehensive presentation on this topic. Bravo!!! - Rev, Christopher Jenkins
