Acerca de este libro electrónico
Naval Power Struggle explores the intense maritime rivalry between Britain and France from the late 18th to the early 19th centuries, a period crucial for understanding Britain's rise to global dominance. The book argues that British naval supremacy wasn't inevitable, but rather the result of continuous investment, tactical advancements, and a bit of luck in overcoming significant French maritime challenges. It challenges the notion of easy British dominance by showcasing the genuine threats posed by the French navy and the constant adaptations required to maintain superiority. This detailed exploration of naval warfare during the Age of Revolution provides valuable insights into the dynamics of power and the importance of sea power.
The book begins by examining the state of both navies before the revolution, detailing fleet sizes and ship designs. It then analyzes the strategic objectives of each nation, such as controlling trade routes and colonial possessions, and dissects pivotal naval battles like the Battle of the Nile and Trafalgar. Drawing from extensive archival research including naval records and ship logs, this study connects naval history to economics, political science, and sociology for a holistic view.
The culmination demonstrates how British naval power directly impacted France's continental defeat and Britain's subsequent global hegemony.
