To make sure Britain didnt starve and could continue fighting strongly on the Western Front an important role of the navy was to protect merchant ships and their valuable supplies so that they could reach the country.Clearly the Western Front is important because the war can be easily lost there.As the war was a Total War and a war of attrition it went on for several years and therefore the Home Front and the war at sea are just as vital because they made sure that the Western Front was well supplied with men and munitions.Without the work done at the Home Front the other fronts and especially the Western Front couldnt have been supported.Despite some going to work at the Western Front the number of women in employment increased in Brita...

The Germans underestimated the ability of the British army to be a threat anywhere other than on the sea but were highly mistaken when the British were engaging the Germans on the Western Front.The war had highly developed technology in Great Britain and many other countries.The Americans had brought a completely new supply for the British and French; new ammo, more food, medical supplies, etc… America we were able to supply the allies with fresh troops to counteract the new German troops on the Western Front.Britain won and by summer, 800,000 German lives were lost.In actual fact, on April 21st, Britain and Germany had a Tank vs.

The public views of The Western Front was far from reality.In 1918 the Allied counter attack along the Western Front had reached the Hindenburg line and by October the Germans were in full retreat.The Western Front was considered the most important by some.The british press was heavly censored and even the House of Commons was not always kept informed of the goings on at the Western Front.The men on the Western Front clearly had the hardest task with variable weather conditions and the dreaded over the top manoeuvre.

If these had not been the case for Britain and France then the war would have been won by Germany.This meant that Britain had complete supremacy of the seas for the rest of the war.1) On the Western Front, I believe that bombardment could have played an important role but it did not.Philip Warner also points out that many people criticise decisions that Haig made and the price of his methods but they do not suggest other ways in which he might have led the British campaign on the Western Front.He would obviously blame Haig as he was the commanding officer of all British forces on the Western Front.

Heinkel, the big aeroplane manufacturer took him in for the express purpose of building a jet aircraft in which could be used as a combat fighter.As an aeroplane approaching the speed of sound the drag is increased enormously.Many aviators had even thought of adapting the turbine for aeroplane use, but at the time it was still too clumsy, and aviators only thought of using it as means to power a conventional propeller.Perlmutter T. 1975) The significance of this issue was not fully realised until after World War I, predominantly due to lack of suitable aeroplane material.One of the great problems with the air cooled radial engine, which began to replace the rotary engine, was that it produced enormous amount of drag on the aeroplane.

On the other hand, a Revolutionist would assert that it was the Americans who were all to blame and that they were aggressive even before the start of the Second World War.And so in conclusion, I would say that the Cold War was a result of mainly misunderstandings but it should be remembered that there were many other reasons as to why the USA and the USSR became so suspicious of each other, for example, the fact that there was a huge power-vacuum both around the world and in Europe and the Berlin Blockade of 1948. .Western suspicions rose to a height when Stalin refused to allow Marshall Aid to be distributed to Soviet-occupied countries.A traditionalist thinker would say that it was the doings of the Soviet Union, whereas a Revolutio...

Although both wars led to shortages of essential goods, the second war made it much harder for homemakers to compensate.The first war had more concentrated action, on the Western front and in static trench warfare, leaving civilians relatively safe, whereas the second war was more “total” (drawing in civilians) and more mobile.The “reconstruction of gender” in Britain after World War I constrained women’s roles and reinvigorated the ideology of motherhood.In Britain, World War I soldiers were “invisible” whereas in World War II the US and British forces were a highly visible presence, the blitz targeted London, and fighter pilots could battle the enemy by day and drink at pubs near air bases by night.Most importantly, in terms of gender ...

The Tank, so called because of the name secret operatives gave it when it was first shipped over to France, was created by British army journalist Lieutenant-Colonel Ernest Swinton, and, he believed, was a way of breaking the stalemate on the Western front.Some aspects changed quickly, and some changes took a long time, for example, it took the allies three years to understand what tactics to use against the enemy in the trenches.Throughout the war, the trench line writhed like a snake, but mostly stayed in the same position.Was there much change in warfare on the Western front between the end of 1914 and March 1918?Overall, there were massive changes in all fields of life during the First World War.

Alliance theory can aid in an analysis of the quantitative data, providing an assessment of the benefits to Britain of its NATO role, and the costs associated with it.The purpose of this research is not only to establish if Britain could have fulfilled its obligations, but to look at the ways in which other pressures shaped the defence policy, changing the question of defence policy from, “What do we need?” to, “How little can we get away with?” This has direct, and possibly contentious, implications for modern defence planning in a political, economic and military environment which does not have the apparent stability and predictability of the Cold War.It would be possible to theorise that, “Britain was not capable of fulfilling its obl...
