In 1688, Britain was successfully invaded, its army and navy unable
to prevent the overthrow of the government. 1815, Britain was the
strongest power in the world with the most succesful navy and the
largest empire. Britain had not only played a prominent role in the
defeat of Napoleonic France, but had also established itself as a
significant power in South Asia and was unsurpassed in her global
reach. Her military strength was related to, and based on, one of
the best systems of public finance in the world and held a strong
trade position. This illustrated text assesses the military aspects
of this shift, concentrating on the multi-faceted nature of the
British military effort.; Topics covered include: the rise of
Britain; an analysis of military infrastructure; warfare in the
British Isles; conventional warfare in Europe; trans- oceanic
warfare with European powers; the challenge of America; and the
challenge of Revolutionary and Napoleonic France.
