Planning Armageddon? Royal Navy strategy
In this presentation, Dr Scott Lindgren examines the strategic thinking of the Royal Navy in the lead-up to World War 1.
In the years prior to the outbreak of the Great War, the Royal Navy's strategic thinking centred on maintaining its dominance at sea, primarily to protect British trade and ensure the security of the British Isles. This involved a combination of naval construction, strategic planning, and a focus on key naval doctrines.
