Being an island helped Britain in some notable ways; it pushed the nation to develop a powerful navy and explore elsewhere, shielded it from invaders and from chaos engulfing the continent, encouraged a strong-willed British identity distinct from Europe, etc. Not that all island counties become powerful, obviously, there are always numerous factors at play, but Britain’s existence as an island clearly played a role in its history and success.
