乔治三世时期的北美独立事件进一步促成了英国的对外商业政策由重商主义指导下的商业殖民转变到工业革命后的自由贸易。在这一转型过程中,贸易垄断和贸易互惠交织。在这一时期,英国作为一个商业帝国,其对外商业政策的初衷与影响是任何意识形态帝国所不能及的。 The North American independence incident in George III further contributed to the transformation of British foreign trade policy from commercial colonialism led by mercantilism to free trade after the industrial revolution. In this process of transition, trade monopolies and trade are mutually beneficial. During this period, Britain, as a commercial empire, had the original intention and influence of its foreign business policies beyond any ideological empire.
