Still others consider hegemony to be synonymous with control of the most power resources. But, by this definition, nineteenth-century Britain – which at the height of its power in 1870 ranked third (behind the US and Russia) in GDP and third (behind Russia and France) in military expenditures – could not be considered hegemonic, despite its naval dominance.
还有一些观察家认为霸权意味着控制最多的实力资源。但是，据此定义，十九世纪的英国——在1870实力顶峰时期，其GDP为世界第三（次于美国和俄国），军事支出亦为世界第三（次于俄国和法国）——就不能称之为霸权，尽管它拥有海洋主宰力。
