Sweden and spain were not super powers who needed to show there power in arms races and conflicts, britain need to sport her dominance if she was to keep her overseas provinces going, and again I don't think that the RN would be deployed to Asia in mass they would have thought about the British Isle firstly and lastly.
If you were the PM of Britain would you risk leaving Britain undefended against Germay after Germany has taken control and invaded virtually all of the European countries and gained control of all there resoureces and there limited man power?
