About This Book

The volume surveys maritime and global dimensions of the First World War, emphasizing sea power, blockades, and the rise of submarine and raider warfare that reshaped naval strategy; detailed accounts include engagements at sea, the torpedoing of major warships, and the public reaction to the sinking of a passenger liner. It examines diplomatic and military maneuvers involving the Ottoman realm, campaigns in Mesopotamia and Transcaucasia, and operations around the Suez Canal, while describing relief efforts for occupied Belgium and American humanitarian aid. Additional chapters address enemy propaganda directed at North America, naval clashes such as those near the Falklands, and colonial campaigns in Africa, supported by photographic documentation.
