Paperback. The naval war in the First World War was much more than the fight of large battleships on the North Sea. It was a war for trade routes, raw materials, food, news and economic sustainability. While the British Royal Navy tried to cut Germany off from the world market by means of a far-reaching blockade, the German Empire increasingly relied on submarines to meet Britain's vital supplies across the Atlantic.This book provides a comprehensible and well-founded overview of the most important developments in naval warfare between 1914 and 1918. It leads from the German-British naval arms race before the war to the worldwide cruiser war and the early battles in the North Sea to the Battle of Jutland, the unrestricted submarine war and the introduction of the Allied convoy system. The Dardanelles, the Room 40 intelligence service, the sinking of the Lusitania, the economic consequences of the British blockade and the sailors' uprisings of 1918 are also classified in detail.This is not only about the question of which ships were sunk or which side suffered major losses in individual battles. The book explains why Britain and Germany pursued their respective strategies, what political interests were behind them, and why even tactical successes could lead to strategic defeats. The Battle of Skagerrak in particular shows that a naval battle cannot be assessed on the basis of sunk tonnage alone. Germany inflicted heavy losses on the Royal Navy, but was unable to break British control of the sea.It also becomes clear why the U-boat war became one of the most momentous decisions of German warfare. The submarines actually brought Great Britain into a serious supply crisis in 1917. At the same time, the unrestricted use of this weapon helped drag the United States into the war. Convoys, destroyers, depth charges and an ever better Allied organization finally prevented Germany from forcing the hoped-for economic collapse of Great Britain.Another focus is on the British blockade and its consequences for Germany. Food shortages, shortages of raw materials, poor harvests, transport problems and the overload of the German war economy are not considered in isolation, but explained in their interaction. This creates a picture of naval warfare that goes far beyond the known battles and shows how closely military, economic and political developments were intertwined.The book is aimed at history buffs who are looking for an easy-to-understand introduction and a comprehensive overview of the topic. It is deliberately not designed as a scientific reference book for historians, but explains connections clearly and comprehensibly without sacrificing historical accuracy.A book about battleships and submarines, about blockade and hunger, about secret services and trade routes and about the question of why control of the seas played a decisive role in shaping the outcome of the First World War. Parts of the text have been revised with the support of artificial intelligence. It was used as a tool in structuring, research and linguistic elaboration. The contents have been carefully edited, historically classified and checked for factual consistency. In this way, the book combines modern working methods with the claim to offer a serious, understandable and high-quality presentation. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
