A search for answers to your question showed the following:\n\n1. Freedom of the Seas is a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, scheduled to launch in Southampton, England in late April of 2006, followed by a naming ceremony in early May in New York. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_Seas)\n\n2. Freedom of the seas was one of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points. It stresses freedom to navigate the oceans. It also disapproved of war fought in water. The freedom was to be breached only in a necessary international agreement. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_seas)\n\n3. A 1633 treatise by the acknowledged father of International Law, Hugo Grotius (http://socserv2.socsci.mcmaster.ca/~econ/ugcm/3ll3/grotius/Seas.pdf)

Protection of shipping/trade routes.  Imperialism was beginning to come to an end.  The small island nations that would become territorties or puppet regimes of the U.S. were used as docking/filling stations for the Navy and commericial ships of the U.s.

I will only help if I can be cited in the essay.  \n\nThere was a triangle of trade.  Manufactured goods would be sent to Africa.  From Africa, slaves were sent to the Caribbean or North America.  Then from the Caribbean or North America goods such as Rice, Sugar, Tobacco, Rum, and Cotton were shipped back to England.\nThat is what I learned in history but for a detailed explanation check out the site below:

We don't run any of our eighty ports.  The sale is actually between Great Britian and the UAE.  \n\nI do have my concerns, but we aren't selling the ports

It made England the new Naval power. And It was the Naval Power until WW2. I think it still is one of the top naval powers. Once England became naval power, they started to explore different areas of the world and eventually took over almost half the world. (Colonies in North America, Africa, Asia, Australia).\n\nSpain was the naval power until, the spanish armada was defeated. Once it was defeated, England became the new naval power. Marked the End of Spanish Super power.

In January, the European Court of Human Rights declared that England's adverse possession law (which had been around for several centuries) actually effected an unconstitutional taking of property.  I've included a link that tries to make sense of this bizarre development.

I couldn't find any specifics, but since Elba is an island, he obviously used a boat of some sort. It also seems more than likely that the British aided him in his escape, if not directly (by actually supplying the means) then at least indirectly by supplying him information on the whereabouts of British navy ships, and "turning a blind eye" to what he was planning.\n See the site below for more.

Hope this helps you out. BTW the Brits had the most colonies!!!!\n\nThe 2nd link shows which countries owned which other countries. It's taken from 1898. It's a big image so it might take a while to load if you got a slow connection.

It was the Elizabethan Age, the reign of Elizabeth I.  The explorations by the English began then, and the difficulties with Spain and the defeat of its Armada occured then.  There was a good deal of artistic fourishing, and also an increase in commerce and trade, and the usual political/religious bickering.  That was as far as England goes, but all of Europe was similarly in more or less the same phase of opening up to new worlds and new combinations of power and politics and economic growth.
