Portsmouth was founded in 1194 by King Richard I of England as a naval port to support military campaigns. Its strategic location on the south coast of England made it an ideal site for shipbuilding and naval operations. The establishment of Portsmouth helped enhance England's maritime power and facilitated trade and defense against potential invasions. Over time, it grew into one of the country's most important naval bases.
