Prior to 1914, British strategic thinkers considered the question of how to maintain British world power in the twentieth century. They developed visions of co-operation at sea between not only Britain and the Dominions, but also other states in the international system. During the First World War, these ideas merged with plans for the League of Nations, which British policymakers envisaged as a tool for enforcing peace through the use of sea power. This article explores these ideas, providing a different interpretation of the origins of the League, and the maritime strategic thought of key individuals including Halford Mackinder.

“世界海洋的和平”：英国海上战略思想和世界秩序，1892-1919

在 1914 年之前，英国战略思想家考虑的问题是如何在 20 世纪保持英国的世界霸权。他们不仅在英国和自治领之间，而且在国际体系中的其他国家之间制定了海上合作的愿景。在第一次世界大战期间，这些想法与国际联盟的计划相结合，英国政策制定者将其设想为通过使用海上力量来实现和平的工具。本文探讨了这些想法，对联盟的起源以及包括哈尔福德·麦金德在内的关键人物的海上战略思想提供了不同的解释。
