The First World War is largely thought of as a conflictwhere the majority of the significant operations took place almost exclusively on mainland Europe with the exception of a handful of naval clashes fought throughout the world's oceans. This is only partially true because while most of the fighting did take place on the continent, one of the largest and most sophisticated undertakings of the war was conducted mainly at sea. This operation was the British blockade from 1914-1919 which sought to obstruct Germany's ability to import goods, and thus in the most literal sense starve the German people and military into submission.
While the land war certainly contributed to the Entente's (Britain, France, Italy, U.S.) victory in 1918, it was the blockade that truly broke Germany's back. Without it, the war could have potentially gone on even longer, but because of it, the world's preeminent land force was left with no other choice than to surrender as the seeds of revolution brewed among its population. This paper will look into how this important British undertaking functioned, how it affected the German people, and how it played a significant role in causing the German military to sue for peace in 1918.
Great white fleet was important to demonstrate America's military power.
Answer: Option A.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Great White Fleet was an important show of America's naval power to the rest of the world. It was also an important event in the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. The Great White Fleet's successful return and completion of its mission added luster to Roosevelt's presidential career.
Dubbed the Great White Fleet because the ships were painted all white, they set sail on the morning of December 16, 1907 from Hampton Roads, Virginia on its long voyage around the world. The main battleship fleet was accompanied by auxiliary ships for support.
