“an unobstructed passage to the Atlantic”

This "unobstructed passage to the Atlantic" allows for access "to every quarter of the world." The ability to reach every part of the word allows for Britain to trade with anyone and everyone. It best supports the thesis that Britain's geographic advantages supported trade. The detail "insular [inward looking] situation" makes Britain seem closed off as it is focused on it being inside itself rather than open to others. "Combined with the command of the seas" indicates that Britain has access to the seas, but doesn't show how far reaching it goes. "Secures our territory from invasion" would be better to prove that Britain is well protected and safe from invading forces.

How does dystopian fiction impact the future
Hoochie [10]

I would say I’d depend. If we’re talking about the dystopian fiction directly, it is an idea of what the future will be like but through the eyes of the author. For example: Among the Hidden talks about a society where 3rd born children are prohibited and killed. If that will ever occur due to lack of economy or food it’s not an actual fact. But, it’s not like it can’t happen either; circumstances are so bad that it can happen. Now, if it impacts the future itself is uncertain because we human beings don’t have the capability of predicting the future. But, it’s possible that a crazy leader can find inspiration in a dystopian book and base rules of it.
