First World War In The Mediterranean, 1914 - 1918

The basis of British Naval Military Planning was to keep the waterways open to Britain and the Allies, but closed to Germany and the Central Powers. The military strategic objective of the Ottoman Empire was, at a minimum, to maintain its territorial integrity, while Britain s was to neutralize and / or block Turkish support for the Central Powers war effort. To this end, while the British planned to achieve the above objective by taking advantage of their maritime outer lines, and based on the readiness of their fleets, they could attack anywhere on the extensive Ottoman coast. In the simulation will be devoted more study to the naval and / or peripheral military problem, being a way of proving the possibility of the Allies victory, albeit partial - because of the uncertainty of the behavior of Germany in France -, in the war, without the need to erode Franco-British ground power in the western trenches.
