Answer 2

Answer:

Britain was leading in industries and commerce in the nineteenth century but the growing population which almost tripled in the century made alarming signs for Britain. Large lands were controlled by landowners who want high prices for their produce. The result was the import of food products which was economically viable. Britain has to ensure that trade of food products should not be stopped and thus laid great stress on the protection of sea routes and a better-equipped navy.
