August 1914 the two greatest navies in the world confronted each other across the North Sea. At first there were skirmishes, then battles off the coasts of England and Germany and in the far corners of the world, including the Falklands. The British attempted to force the Dardanelles with battleships – which led to the Gallipoli catastrophe. As the stalemate on the ground on the Western Front continued, the German Navy released a last strike against the British ‘ring of steel’. The result was Jutland, a titanic and brutal battle between dreadnoughts.
Flags of the world and their many functions and designs. Many illustrations covering the UK, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, The Middle East, Asia, Oceania and Australiasia.
As early as 1580 Britain had the most powerful navy going, due to a variety of factors. Not the least of these was her geographical location, which afforded protection from aggresive neighbours. This author emphasizes the supportive effect of her general economic strength as well as many additional factors.
