Next Episode: Battle of Jutland and Scapa Flow Part II

A new German Kaiser and his ambitious Admiral, a global sea power in Britain seen as an eventual rival, the strategic publication of Admiral Mahan, and technological breakthroughs in sub and air power along with the launching of the HMS Dreadnought lead us into WWI. Under studied in history, the naval battles of WWI provide an incredible look at national naval strategies up to the Battle of Jutland, naval power in emerging powers as a whole and the eventual scuttling of the German Imperial Fleet at Scapa Flow.
