AP European History
Unit 3 – Absolutism and Constitutionalism
Topic 3.6
How might European history from 1700s onwards be different if Great Britain didn't emerge as a dominant naval force after winning key battles like Trafalgar or during Seven Years' War?
Japan would become a leading naval force replacing Britain earlier than expected.
Industrial revolution wouldn't occur without British navy's protection for trade routes.
Absence of British maritime dominance may have led to strengthened Dutch or French global influence affecting colonial holdings worldwide.
South American countries would remain under Spanish control indefinitely.
