从十八世纪六十年代至十九世纪中叶,在英国发生了工业革命。工业革命改造了英国,尤其改造了英国的海军,促进了海军的发展和近代化。而海军的发展和近代化反过来又促进了工业革命的发展,并保证了工业革命的顺利完成。大英帝国就是在这两者相互促进的关系中建立了起来。 From the sixties of the eighteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth century, an industrial revolution took place in England. The industrial revolution transformed Britain, in particular, the British navy, and promoted the development and modernization of the Navy. The development and modernization of the navy in turn promoted the development of the industrial revolution and ensured the successful completion of the industrial revolution. The British Empire was established in the mutually reinforcing relationship between the two.
