Ruthless Warfare (1998) demonstrates how close the First World War
came to Australia. It has been argued that Australia was
manipulated against its interests into action in WW1 by London -
this unpublished collection of documents from the military division
of the German Archives shows that this was not the case. The German
Navy expected a major confrontation with the British Empire, both
in the North Sea and further afield. German cruisers were expected
to make a significant contribution in the Indian Ocean and the
Western Pacific, pinning down British naval forces and thus
undermining the British fleet's supremacy in the Atlantic. The
damage and disruption to imperial trade would have had serious
consequences for Australia, and these German plans also meant that
a significant military intelligence system was active in the
Antipodes.
