An Emperor rose, a Czar fell & Japan had proclaimed its entry into the modern world. It was unthinkable that a newly awakened feudal country like Japan could possibly confront a powerful European Great Power such as Imperial Russia. Tsar Nicholas II predicted "a short, victorious war," and anticipated a stunning victory at sea. Events were... (vollständige Beschreibung)

Germany's High Seas Fleet ceased to exist in June 1919, when its crews scuttled most of the fleet's battleships, cruisers and destroyers rather than hand them over to the victorious Allies. Any modern ships not present that morning would be seized shortly afterward and distributed among Germany's enemies.

Germany's defeat, and the harsh peace that followed, are possibly among the least likely outcomes of the First World War. At the end of 1916, Germany and her allies stood in a very strong po... (vollständige Beschreibung)

Fleets are usually built with one purpose in mind: to protect their owner's maritime trade, and deny such trade to their nation's enemies. The United States and Great Britain gave great thought to how they would protect their own trade and interrupt that of the other nation, in case the two English-speaking powers ever came to war.
