Continuity and Change
This article presents a new interpretation of the relationship between technology and warfare at sea before and during the First World War. It challenges existing accounts which view technological innovations as the primary driver of naval strategy during this period, and argues for a more contingent, incremental and contextualised approach to the relationship between technology and strategy. It illustrates these points with a specific example: t…
Churchill and the Dardanelles, by Christopher M. Bell
As the centenary commemorations of the First World War roll on, the dispassionate reader might be excused for looking askance at yet another new volume on the conflict—let alone one focused upon the personage of that most studied individual, Winston Spencer Churchill. What, they might ask, is the need for a new study of a military operation which, as Bell ably illustrates, cannot be judged to be anything other than a failure, or of a politician w…
Heligoland
The relationship between Britain and Germany, which played such an important role in shaping the fate of Europe in the twentieth century, has been a fertile field of study in recent years. Scholars have now moved beyond simplistic notions of a ‘rivalry’ which prefigured seemingly inevitable conflicts in 1914 and 1939 to present a more nuanced picture which includes the countervailing currents of co-operation, competition, shared interests and bel…
Commemorating the centenary of the First World War
This special issue examines the ways in which contemporary political, diplomatic, social and cultural trends have influenced centennial commemoration of the First World War in Europe, Russia and the Middle East. The four articles identify and examine a diversity of narratives that have emerged over the centenary period, charting similarities and differences between states, organisations and individuals. While divergent narratives certainly exist …
Britain, Europe, and the War at Sea, 1900–1918
An ‘Intermediate Blockade’? British North Sea Strategy, 1912–1914
Historians have argued that, between 1912 and 1914, Britain’s naval leadership projected a so-called ‘intermediate blockade’, a line of vessels strung across the mid-North Sea. This strategy has been widely criticized as impractical and unrealistic. However, this article demonstrates that the Admiralty never projected such an approach. Rather, the naval leadership intended to adopt a system of mid-North Sea patrols during this period. By misunder…
