A Fleet Second to None
In this presentation Ryan Szimanski looks at the naval arms race before, during and after the First World War.
The naval arms race before, during, and after World War I was a period of intense competition in naval shipbuilding, primarily between Britain and Germany, but also involving other nations. This competition, particularly the focus on building dreadnought battleships, is seen as a contributing factor to the outbreak of the war and shaped naval warfare during and after the conflict.
