Question

Why was England afraid of invasion at the end of the 19th century

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Although England had the most superior naval might and ruled over the waterways around the end of the 19th century, it was afraid of aerial invasion because, long before then, the French had successfully used hot air balloon technology to cross the English Channel; in addition, emerging and potential aerial technology made the British to expect aerial bombardment which they knew their Isles wouldn't be safe from, in the event of an attack.
