The sea both separates and connects land. Efficient shipping increases trade and specialization of production, and makes cultural contacts between people easier. Maritime lines of communication are, however, also vulnerable to violence, and they can be used for transportation of military forces. Sea power, the ability to control the sea with armed force, is therefore important for rulers and societies connected with the sea
