Jellicoe Regarding The Yorkshire Raid Analysis
Churchill’s justification for not following the advice of Jellicoe regarding the Yorkshire Raids is unjustified. Churchill argues that because the information obtained by Room 40, that the Admiralty was basing their decision on, was untested and highly speculative there was no real need to take the information seriously. Any information obtained by Room 40 is going to be untested and highly speculative until put to the test. The purpose of Room 40 is to obtain information regarding the German Naval movements during the war and if the British Admiralty are not going to take the information seriously then there is no point in obtaining the information at all. Furthermore, Churchill argues that the risks of accident, submarines and mines faced

    Was the Assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand That Important?

    In order to achieve Weltpolitik, Germany had to develop a formidable navy. Britain had the strongest navy since the Battle of Trafalgar, and needed one in order to maintain its empire and import vital supplies. Thus, it saw Germany’s naval ambitions as a threat. When Britain built the first Dreadnought, it brought the naval race to a new level. The Germans developed the “Risk Theory”: that Britain would stay in port, rather than risk severely damaging its navy in a battle. On the other hand, Britain developed the “Two Power Standard”: that Britain should have a navy stronger than the other two leading navies…

    Eisenhower's Four Components Of The Gerras Critical Thinking Model

    Eisenhower clarified the concern that Fredendall did not add value in commanding II Corps. In clarifying the concern, a critical thinker must ensure that the problem or issue is not framed in a way that limits courses of action. However, Eisenhower’s lack of experience in high command is demonstrated by his hesitation to relieve Fredendall of command of II Corps. His judgment in this matter would later lead to the British having a negative point of view of the United States’ performance in its first significant effort at war.…

    The Influence Of The Palmer Raids

    The Palmer Raids were a series of raids by the United States Department of Justice intended to capture, arrest and deport radical leftists. The raids took place under the command of A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General of the United States from 1919 to 1921, in November 1919 and January 1920. The Palmer Raids occurred in the main basis of the Red Scare. During World War 1, there was a large nationwide campaign in the United States against the political loyalties of immigrants and ethnic groups.The fear was that the immigrants who came would still have too much loyalty for their nations of origin. In 1915, President Wilson addressed a warning to the nation to watch for those americans whose plan is to poison the ways of this nation. The fear of Wilson and other…

    Mission Command

    With German forces on the run following the Allied success at Normandy and the breakout and pursuit across France, Allied forces were staged to enter Germany in late summer 1944. Both Field Marshal Montgomery and General Bradley clamored to be given the priority of effort. General Eisenhower chose Montgomery’s Operation MARKET GARDEN as the plan for action. It called for airborne forces to open the route for a ground force to move more than sixty miles up a single road, ending up north of the Rhine River near Arnhem, Netherlands. By accomplishing this task, the German Ruhr industrial heartland would be within easy grasp. But the operation failed. The ground force did not make it to the last bridge; it was six more months before Allied forces crossed the Lower Rhine River near Arnhem. Between 17 and 26 September 1944, there were 17,000 Allied casualties including eighty percent of the 1st Airborne Division (UK). The historical evidence overwhelmingly shows that the British 1st Airborne Division lost the Battle of Arnhem because of poor planning. This paper will prove the failure of The Battle of Arnhem was not solely the fault of MG Roy Urquhart. Although this was his first command of such a division (being an "outsider") could he have not completed his wartime mission any better despite having inexperienced leaders planning airborne operations, bad intelligence, allowing the Air Force to plan the DZs based off what was best for the air movement plan and poor execution. This paper examines MG Urquhart, the commander of 1st Airborne Division (UK).…

    Period 3 Test

    Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask, gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions…

    The Assault Harry Mulisch Analysis

    In his novel The Assault, Harry Mulisch illustrates a clear example at how human memory can aid us in pursuing a better future ahead of us. As Anton watched the motor boats on the first page of the novel he was amazed at how fast the motor boats moved and the wake they left behind. Each time he saw them zoom by he would try to follow their wake however its pattern became so distorted he could not follow it. Along side the motor boats were the gondolas where they were propelled by the captain pushing a stick back thus moving his boat forward. He then takes this approach on life and lives while constantly bringing up his past. Every time he attempted to look at what the…

    How Did The Soldiers Lose Such An Inhumane Interaction

    The commanders were angry with the interaction between the Germans and British soldiers because the interaction not only affected the war, but also the soldier’s mentality. The interaction led the soldiers to see that their opponent was not just an enemy but a relatable man. The soldiers had become so inhumane and were just programmed to kill, kill, and kill. This interaction allowed them to feel human again. The commanders knew that there would come a time where the soldier’s guards would be down and this was the time.…

    That had seemed to be the object of the German submarine warfare earlier in the war, but since April of last year the Imperial Government had somewhat restrained the commanders of its undersea craft in conformity with its promise then given to us that passenger boats should not be sunk and that due warning would be given to all other vessels which its submarines might seek to destroy, when no resistance was offered or escape attempted, and care taken that their crews were given at least a fair chance to save their lives in their open boats.…

    Owen And Sawhill Analysis

    In the most recent debates regarding higher education, a particular issue of whether a liberal arts education can benefit students is relentless. While most people directly connect a liberal arts education to a bright future in terms of a career, others argue against that. On one hand, Sanford J. Ungar strongly believes that despite some hardships that come along with college, everyone should take the opportunity to go. On the other hand, Charles Murray, Stephanie Owen, and Isabel Sawhill suggest that it can depend in terms of money and only those that are academically capable and enjoy learning should attend college. My view is that although some students…

    The view that Britain’s strength was in decline was supported by the Suez Canal affair. Britain’s withdrawal from Suez was a failure not of military resolve but of political will. Due to Britain acting independently of NATO and the USA, without consultation with the Commonwealth and in disregard of the UN – Eden was well and truly aware that he made a big mistake and feared the consequences of being internationally isolated and came to…

    What Are The Two Reasons For The Blockade Of Germany

    Prior to World War I, a series of conferences were held at Whitehall in 1905–1906 concerning military cooperation with France in the event of a war with Germany. The Director of Naval Intelligence—Charles Ottley—asserted that two of the Royal Navy′s functions in such a war would be the capture of German commercial shipping and the blockade of German ports. A blockade was considered useful for two reasons: it could force the enemy′s fleet to fight and it could also act as an economic weapon to destroy German commerce. It was not until 1908, however, that a blockade of Germany formally appeared in the Navy′s war plans and even then some officials were divided over how feasible it…

    The Battle of Jutland

    On May 31st, Beatty and Hipper found each other, and in a running battle to the south Hipper drew the British face to face with the High Seas Fleet. Beatty turned around and fled towards the Grand Fleet and from the afternoon until nightfall at about the two huge fleets (totaling 250 ships between them) were heavily engaged. Fourteen British and eleven German ships were sunk with great loss of life. Jellicoe tried to cut the Germans off from their base in the hope of continuing the battle in the morning, but Scheer crossed the wake of the British fleet and returned to port. Both sides claimed victory. The British had lost more ships and many more sailors, and the British press criticized the Royal Fleet's actions, but Scheer’s plan of destroying Beatty’s squadrons had…
