World Conflict I, also known in its time as the fantastic Conflict or the "battle to end all wars", was an unprecedented holocaust in conditions of its large scale. Fought by men who hailed from all sides of the world, it saw millions of soldiers do fight in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold vast sums of rifle and machine weapon bullets were terminated in a issue that exhibited man's capacity to get rid of each other over a heretofore unprecedented scale, and since always, such a battle brought about technology for a price that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant.Because of this, World War I was the first truly industrial battle, and it created a paradigm which reached its zenith with World Conflict II and towards which virtually all equipment, innovation, and training were dedicated throughout the Freezing War and the remainder of the 20th century. To this day, modern warfare remains synonymous with tanks and mass infantry fights, although a confrontation of the nature hasn't took place (except briefly during Operation Desert Storm) since World Conflict II.One of the most iconic images of the First World Conflict are of the battle on land. They depict the trench lines, the shell openings, and the barbed cable. They show a technology of young men in uniform, surviving in openings dug from the dirt and grime, rifle at hand, waiting for another disastrous artillery bombardment. But part of that same generation faced an extremely different war, the one which was just as important in deciding the destiny of Europe, but which is often overlooked in popular histories. This was the battle at sea. It had been essential to the economic area of the battle, as the Allies cut off Germany's supply lines from the exterior world therefore placed a squash on their opponents' military companies. Here, events occurred that would bring America into the battle, providing the Allies with a new pool of manpower therefore ensuring that the scales of the issue tipped in their favour.The battle at sea noticed innovations examined. Some, such as Germany's submarine fleet, were an enormous success that defined the near future for warfare. Some, such as seaborne planes, performed only a small part but acted as a prelude to bigger changes to come. Some, such as battlecruisers, were costly failures. At sea as much as on land, this was a war that would shape the future of the world.World Conflict I at Sea: The History and Legacy of Naval Practices and Operations During the Great Conflict examines how the battle revolutionized naval businesses.
