Week 8 – The Evolution of Military Thought between the two WorldWars (15 items)Professor Peter Jackson
The inter-war years were a crucial period in the evolution of military and strategicthinking. Makers of military doctrine and strategic plans digested the experience of theGreat War while at the same time trying to anticipate the character of futureconflicts. These challenges were tackled very differently in different national contexts. Our aim is to try to understand the various ways in which a number of influential militarythinkers from the world's Great Powers tried to understand the 'lessons' of the First WorldWar and imagined the course of future war.
