17 jan 1890 ano - Alfred T. Mahan's Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783 published

Descrição:

Alfred Thayer Mahan [məˈhæn] was a United States naval officer and historian, whom John Keegan called "the most important American strategist of the nineteenth century.

Mahan argued that British control of the seas, combined with a corresponding decline in the naval strength of its major European rivals, paved the way for Great Britain’s emergence as the world’s dominant military, political, and economic power. Mahan and some leading American politicians believed that these lessons could be applied to U.S. foreign policy, particularly in the quest to expand U.S. markets overseas.
