It contrasts that era with the rise of other industrialized powers and the end of any single-state dominance driven by scientific and technological change. It then examines the League of Nations’ limits, arguing that moral influence without enforcement power could not prevent conflict. Finally, it frames the interwar struggle as a bid to replace British influence through coercion, war, and a projected New World Order.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/power-in-international-affairs-throughout-the-nineteenth-century-our-world-was-dominated-by-one-nation-great-britain/322670/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/power-in-international-affairs-throughout-the-nineteenth-century-our-world-was-dominated-by-one-nation-great-britain/322670.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Ezra","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-24","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":52},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What factors made Great Britain dominant during the nineteenth century?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Great Britain’s dominance came from economic power and naval power.

was dominated byIone nation,Great Britain.During the period of the French revolu-from Lisbon to Moscow,from Copenhagen to Naples.Britain aloneremained untrod.Only she could take advantage of the Industrial Revo-lution and transform herself into a great manufacturing state.AfterWaterloo,Continental Europe was so exhausted that a long period ofpeace was necessary for mere recovery.Britain was the one country thathad the opportunity to make progress,to reform,and to expand.  \nBritain's territories were soon found on every continent,her militarybases were scattered on many shores.She dominated because she hadpower,economic power and naval power,greater than that of any othercountry.But hers was an unobtrusive domination,in general a benev-olent domination.Her navy maintained peace and stability not only onthe high seas but in the remote places of the earth.There appeared noreason why the interests of other nations could not be harmonized withthose of the dominant power.Mankind had not known a century inwhich progress in the general welfare was so great as in the nineteenth.And it was made under the ægis of the British flag.  \nBut towards the end of the century changes had already begun to takeplace.Other great states arose,such as the United States,with immenseeconomic resources;Germany,and Italy also,became united and indus-trialized,and therefore strong.Japan was compelled by force to abandonher policy of isolation,westernize her way of life and thereby assume aplace among the great powers of the earth.On all sides powerful nationschallenged the world dominance of Great Britain,with whose intereststhey no longer found their own in harmony.Britannia no longer ruledthe waves.The Great War ended her era of domination.Indeed it endedall likelihood of domination by any one state.Scientific invention andtechnological advance made that clear.There is little chance thatGermany can dominate the world.  \nGreat Britain was resigned to the ending of her dominance but wasdetermined,as she has been for centuries,not to permit domination byany other state.She was chiefly instrumental in organizing a great unionof states,the League of Nations,to provide collective security in lieuof the security hitherto maintained by her naval supremacy.The Leaguewas made up of states of different size,population,language,race,culture,and stage of moral,social and economic development.It wasinevitable that disputes should arise among them,sometimes of a kindthat could not readily be settled by judicial means.Each was a sovereignstate that insisted on being the sole judge of its conduct and,therefore,  \ncould not be coerced save by adequate power.The League could attemptcoercion by economic or military power,but it failed to realize that theuse of economic power must of necessity be followed by the applicationof military power in case of continued recalcitrance on the part of anaggressor state.The League had great moral infuence and accomplishedmany constructive things but,unlike a national state,it had no centralagen","cbCain4yD19c8y12","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain4yD19c8y12","pdf",662223,16,"English","# POWER IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS\n## Great
