Following the end of the First World War the Mediterranean Fleet
found itself heavily involved in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Sea
of Marmora, the Black Sea and to a lesser extent, the Adriatic.
Naval commanders were faced with complex problems in a situation of
neither war nor peace. The collapse of the Ottoman, Russian and
Habsburg empires created a vacuum of power in which different
factions struggled for control or influence. In the Black Sea this
involved the Royal Navy in intervention in 1919 and 1920 on the
side of those Russians fighting the Bolsheviks. By 1920 the Allies
were also faced with the challenge of the Turkish nationalists,
culminating in the Chanak crisis of 1922. The 1923 Treaty of
Lausanne enabled the Mediterranean Fleet finally to return to a
peacetime routine, although there was renewed threat of war over
Mosul in 1925-1926. These events are the subject of the majority of
the documents contained in this volume. Those that comprise the
final section of the book show the Mediterranean Fleet back to
preparation for a major war, applying the lessons of World War One
and studying how to make use of new weapons, aircraft carriers and
aircraft.
