Fighting the Great War at Sea

The overriding image of the First World War is the bloody stalemate of the Western Front, but although much of the action did occur on land, the overall shape of the war even the inevitability of British participation arose out of its maritime character.

Imaginea primordiala a Primului Razboi Mondial este impasul sangeros al Frontului de Vest, dar, desi o mare parte a actiunii a avut loc pe uscat, forma generala a razboiului, chiar si inevitabilitatea participarii britanice, a aparut din caracterul sau maritim.
