I'm sure they're doing something. Whether it's worth doing is another matter.

Nope. Nothing at all. They're all just standing in fields. Forever.

Read your own source.
"Sea power, however, did not project on land. Land wars fought between the major powers include the Crimean War, the Franco-Austrian War, the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War, as well as numerous conflicts between lesser powers. The Royal Navy enabled rather than prevented the Opium wars (1839 – 1842 and 1856 – 1860) against Imperial China, and had no influence on the Russo-Japanese War (1904 – 05.)"

Not peaceful.

A missionary and explorer. Yes, what about him?

Nova Imperius wrote:I shouldnt have mentioned Christianity as you are a communist.

No connection. There are lots of communist Christians and lots of non-communist non-Christians.

Nova Imperius wrote:Australia, USA, India, Canada, Etc. Etc. all democratic nations (to some degree).

Australia and Canada are due to the UK.
The USA and India are not.

Nova Imperius wrote:Also without the Imperial might it would have been impossible to take on the challenge. It was a statement to abolish slavery considering the USA only abolished it half a century later.

The USA isn't imperialist and it has military might. You don't need to be an empire to have a strong military.

I agree with a good potion of your statements, but how is the U.S. not democratic? We are a Democratic Republic.

I'm not saying it's not democratic. I'm saying the UK didn't cause the US to be a democracy.
