In the nineteenth century, England was able to use its already powerful merchant navy to sell the huge amounts of manufactured products made by the factories built as a result of the Industrial Revolution and the invention of steam-powered machines that enabled workers to work faster and yield a greater production than ever before. The economic power obtained through trade made it possible for England to conquer more countries where it could sell its products with no competition.
Aristotle was the first Greek philosopher to analyze how people can use reason to reach logical, provable conclusions.
