This book charts the growth of linked strengths - sea-fighting, trading, financial and constitutional - which made them so formidable. It also reveals the way in which supremacy at sea freed thought and society itself." "Changes in society, politics, trade - including the slave trade - and in naval capability are interwoven with descriptions of the great sea battles by which world power was won."--Jacket. 7aGeschichte 1550-16002idszbz 7aGeschichte 1588-17822idszbz 7aGeschichte 1600-17002idszbz 0aNaval history, Modern. 0aNaval battlesxHistory. 0aGreat powers. 7aGreat powers.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00947048 7aNaval battles.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01034974 7aNaval history, Modern.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01035008 7aNaval history, Modern.2nli 7aHistory.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01411628
