Description: Difference between islands and continents. Feudalism and the differences between Japan, China and England. The differences between islands and continental structures, difficulty of balance in continents because of the threat of attack and the pressures towards absolutism, the need for protection. The confidence and power of the lower ranks in England stems from its island nature. There is no standing army, and naval protection is paramount.
