The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • Az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia Katonai Részvétele a Scutariválság
    TANULMÁNYOK BALLA TIBOR AZ OSZTRÁK-MAGYAR MONARCHIA KATONAI RÉSZVÉTELE A SCUTARI–VÁLSÁG RENDEZÉSÉBEN1 1913 tavaszán az éppen dúló első Balkán–háború közepette az európai nagyhatalmak diplomatáinak, katonai vezetőinek és közvéleményének figyelmét az ún. Scutari–válság kötötte le. A Balkán–félsziget délnyugati részén fekvő Scutari (Shkodra) jövőbeni hovatartozását illetően Montenegro és a vele szövetséges Szerbia, valamint a kontinens meghatározó hatalmai között nézeteltérés alakult ki, amely ráadásul magában hordozta az Ausztria–Magyarország és Montenegro közötti fegyveres konfliktus kitörésének lehetőségét is. Az európai országok már 1912 őszén erőfeszítéseket tettek a balkáni válság kezelésére. Anglia november elején – Németország és Franciaország támogatásával – a konfliktus békés rendezése érdekében nagyhatalmi konferencia összehívását javasolta. A konferencia december 17-én ült össze Londonban, a St. James palotában az 1878-as berlini kongresszuson is jelen volt hat nagyhatalom küldöttei részvételével. Angliát külügyminisztere, Sir Edward Grey, Ausztria–Magyarországot, Franciaországot, Németországot, Olaszországot, Oroszországot londoni nagykövetük képviselte.2 A zárt ajtók mögött folyó üléseken Grey elnökölt. 1913. december 16-tól szintén Londonban ülésezett a Balkán–szövetségbe tömörült államok (Bulgária, Görögország, Montenegro, Szerbia) és Törökország békekonferenciája. Az angol külügyminiszter tiszteletbeli elnökként az ítélőbíró szerepét töltötte be a balkáni kis államok egymással és a törökökkel folytatott területi vitáiban.3 A konferencia 1913. március 22-én döntést hozott arról, hogy Scutari városa a jövőben az önálló Albániához tartozzék, március 29-én pedig nemzetközi flottademonstrációról született döntés.4 1 A tanulmány az 1995–96 folyamán a Collegium Hungaricum ösztöndíjasaként Bécsben végzett kutatásaim eredményeként született.

  • U-Boat Campaign (World War I) 1 U-Boat Campaign (World War I)
    U-boat Campaign (World War I) 1 U-boat Campaign (World War I) The U-boat Campaign from 1914 to 1918 was the World War I naval campaign fought by German U-boats against the trade routes of the Entente Powers. It took place largely in the seas around the British Isles and in the Mediterranean. The German Empire relied on imports for food and domestic food production (especially fertilizer) and the United Kingdom relied heavily on imports to feed its population, and both required raw materials to supply their war industry; the powers aimed, therefore, to blockade one another. The British had the Royal Navy which was superior in numbers and could operate on most of the world's oceans because of the British Empire, whereas the German Kaiserliche Marine surface fleet was mainly restricted to the German Bight, and used commerce raiders and unrestricted submarine warfare to operate elsewhere. The successful blockade of Germany contributed to its military defeat in 1918, and, still in effect, enforced the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in mid-1919. 1914: Initial campaign North Sea: Initial stage In August 1914, a flotilla of ten U-boats sailed from their base in Heligoland to attack Royal Navy warships in the North Sea in the first submarine war patrol in history.[1] Their aim was to sink capital ships of the British Grand Fleet, and so reduce the Grand Fleet's numerical superiority over the German High Seas Fleet. The first sortie was not a success. Only one attack was carried out, when U-15 fired a torpedo (which missed) at HMS Monarch.
