What real world criticism of england is wells making in the first four chapters of the war of the worlds

That the people of England were unprepared for an attack.

In the first chapters of The War of the Worlds, Wells criticizes the fact that human beings were unprepared for a Martian attack. He tells us that people were too busy focusing on the Earth and its problems, so that they did not think of what else could be out there in the universe. Moreover, those who did think about it did not believe that intelligent creatures could exist anywhere else. This is a real world criticism of England and its unpreparedness for war.

just took the test;

argument: "it's time to wage a war against britain to secure american freedom."

claims: "america has tried every peaceful method available for seperating from england" & "the americans' petitions to the king have been turned away by him."

this question is grammatically incorrect and is illegible to me so i can not answer.
