After the 17th century, Britain prioritised Trade over Land. This was different to everyone else, and allowed Britain to overtake larger, more powerful neighbours.

You skipped a big chunk of history between the angle’s invasions and William the conqueror specifically England’s first king and the rush to get king in 1066

this is very simplified, also a little help from the french, France bankrupted themselves fighting England to help the US get freedom, the Spanish and Dutch was also fighting the Brits at the same time, and while they lost the colonies in America, Britain ultimately came out on top, beat the french, Spanish and Dutch and went on to rule the seas for over a hundred years, we only lost naval dominance after ww2 because we went bankrupt fighting the Nazis
