1914
Europe was very stressed when the dates showed
1914. Even a small spark could start a big war, and
that spark came out with the murder of the archduke
of austria. This war was believed to be the war to end
all wars. Britain was initially unwilling to join the
war, but later broke their neutrality with the German
attack on Belgium. The sick man of Europe, Austria-
Hungary, worn out by the current nationalism, and a
strong Germany. England's enemies were not good,
and thanks to the great manpower the British had
acquired through their colonies, even if they
struggled early in the war, it would have resulted in a
victory with American help.

King of Great Britain and the "United


Kingdom of Ireland", emperor of India and
king of the British colonies.                         
                                                          Also as
a result of the World War 1, her cousins
II.Nicholas and II.Wilhelm's empire
collapsed
Colonial soldiers, one of the most important factors of
the World War 1, ensured the victory of the war.         
                                                     For example, India
was the British's most important source of colonial
troops.
Other minor sources were New Zealand, Australia,
Egypt, Canada, Iraq... And countless more colonies.
Royal Navy

British navy or Royal Navy.

One of the factors, and the biggest


factor separating Britain from its
enemies.

A newer and better navy could


change everything in war.

OCTOBER
REVOLUTION

Internal revolts, one of the factors,


this time worked against the British.

The October revolution led to the


withdrawal of the Russian empire
from the war and put the British in
deep trouble.

A new danger awaited Britain, who had
won the war with difficulty NSDAP or
the National Socialist German Workers'
Party.

power in 1933, started to take action
rapidly.

openly that he would launch a
military operation against Poland.

Supermarine Spitfire

The NSDAP made great progress in the


early part of World War II until the
Spitfires stepped in.

engine, these 3035-kilogram fighters
completely changed the tide of war.
WE SHALL FIGHT ON
THE BEACHES

Speech by British Prime Minister Sir


Winston Churchill on 4 June 1940 "We
Shall Fight On The Beaches"

We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we


shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air,
we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall
fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we
shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment
believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and
starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by
the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good
time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the
rescue and the liberation of the old

Sir Winston Churchill


With this speech, Britain, who took
the psychological advantage,
managed to win the war and brought
the beginning of a long silence on the
world.
