The German fleet was interned at Scapa Flow in Scotland under the terms of the Armistice during World War 1. Fearing the ships would be seized by the Allies, Admiral Ludwig von Reuter decided to scuttle the fleet on June 21, 1919. Of the 74 ships interned, 52 sank, including 15 of the 16 capital ships and 5 of the 8 cruisers. The scuttling removed the issue of redistributing the German ships amongst the Allies and demonstrated the continued spirit of the German Navy.

Over 150,000 troops stormed five beaches in Normandy, facing resistance from entrenched German forces. The beaches of Omaha proved the bloodiest, with around 3,000 casualties, while Utah beach had lighter defenses and losses. By late August, Allied forces had broken out of Normandy and liberated Paris, and finally defeated the last German efforts with the Battle of the Bulge, leading to the defeat of Nazi Germany and liberation of Europe on VE Day, May 8, 1945.
Battle Ships
The document provides details about several famous battleships:

General Haig, who planned the battle, was given the nickname "Butcher of the Somme" because of the massive casualties suffered by British forces under his command. By the end of the battle, the British suffered 420,000 casualties, the French 200,000, and the Germans around 500,000. While the battle resulted in some territorial gains for the Allies, many questioned if the heavy loss of life was justified for the amount of ground gained. There is still debate around whether Haig was a butcher for the losses, or a hero for relieving pressure on the French at Ver

It concludes with a quote that the arrival of the British fleet off Constantinople did not have the desired effect of causing a revolution.
Christiaan De Wet
General Christiaan De Wet was a highly successful and respected Boer general during the Anglo-Boer War. He repeatedly outmaneuvered and evaded much larger British forces, becoming their most formidable enemy. Through his tactics of mobile warfare and ability to strike unexpectedly, he inflicted numerous defeats on the British and prolonged the war for over two years, despite being outnumbered. Even in defeat, De Wet was seen as a hero among the Boers for his leadership, perseverance, and refusal to surrender against overwhelming odds.

Battle Of The Canal Du Nord.Pptx
The Battle of Canal du Nord was a World War I battle between British and Canadian forces against German troops along the Western Front in France from September 27th to October 1st, 1918. The Canadian Corps, led by Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie, launched a surprise attack under darkness in the early morning of September 27th. By mid-morning, all German defenders had retreated or been captured as the Canadians took their objectives along the Canal du Nord. This opening of the canal allowed the Allies to advance further towards Cambrai in their final push towards victory before the war's end. The Canadian role in this battle is commemorated at the Canadian Bourlon Wood Memorial.
The rms lusitania
The RMS Lusitania was a passenger ship that was sunk by a German U-boat in 1915, killing 1,198 people onboard including many passengers. While it was mainly a passenger ship, it was found to be secretly carrying ammunition for Allied soldiers. This controversial cargo, along with the large loss of American lives, contributed to the United States entering World War 1. The sinking occurred relatively close to the Irish coast and the ship sank very quickly after being hit by two torpedoes, one of which caused a cargo explosion.

Humbert and his french army
General Humbert and his small French Army landed in Killala Bay in 1798 after being invited by the united Irishmen, though many of his ships never arrived due to a terrible storm. Irish volunteers flocked to join the French forces, and the French won battles at Killala and Castlebar against large British opposition. However, the rebellion was short-lived, lasting just one month across four counties, before Humbert surrendered in Ballinamuck.
War at the sea and the eastern front
The war at sea played a major role in World War 1 and evolved significantly over the course of the war. New technologies like submarines, mines, and torpedoes introduced unpredictable threats and made naval warfare more unpredictable. While great sea battles between large surface fleets were expected, the submarine came to dominate naval warfare, with Germany becoming a master of submarine technology. The British maintained control of key trade routes through use of blockades and their larger naval fleet, though the German submarine campaigns had some successes in sinking merchant ships. Over time, both sides developed countermeasures like depth charges, Q-ships, and ultimately the convoy system to combat the submarine threat.

The anglo german naval race
The document discusses the naval arms race between Germany and Britain from 1900-1914 and the concurrent land arms race in Europe. Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered a massive increase in the German navy because he hated that Britain had a stronger navy. This began a naval arms race, with both countries rapidly building more and more battleships. In 1906 Britain launched the Dreadnought, and Germany began building its own Dreadnought-type battleships. At the same time, the major European powers on land were also increasing the size of their armies despite the financial burden, as they believed war was inevitable.

We Shall Fight on the Beaches
June 4, 1940
House of Commons
The position of the B. E.F had now become critical As a result of a most skillfully conducted retreat and German errors, the bulk of the British Forces reached the Dunkirk bridgehead. The peril facing the British nation was now suddenly and universally perceived. On May 26, "Operation Dynamo "--the evacuation from Dunkirk began. The seas remained absolutely calm. The Royal Air Force--bitterly maligned at the time by the Army--fought vehemently to deny the enemy the total air supremacy which would have wrecked the operation. At the outset, it was hoped that 45,000 men might be evacuated; in the event, over 338,000 Allied troops reached England, including 26,000 French soldiers. On June 4, Churchill reported to the House of Commons, seeking to check the mood of national euphoria and relief at the unexpected deliverance, and to make a clear appeal to the United States.
From the moment that the French defenses at Sedan and on the Meuse were broken at the end of the second week of May, only a rapid retreat to Amiens and the south could have saved the British and French Armies who had entered Belgium at the appeal of the Belgian King; but this strategic fact was not immediately realized. The French High Command hoped they would be able to close the gap, and the Armies of the north were under their orders. Moreover, a retirement of this kind would have involved almost certainly the destruction of the fine Belgian Army of over 20 divisions and the abandonment of the whole of Belgium. Therefore, when the force and scope of the German penetration were realized and when a new French Generalissimo, General Weygand, assumed command in place of General Gamelin, an effort was made by the French and British Armies in Belgium to keep on holding the right hand of the Belgians and to give their own right hand to a newly created French Army which was to have advanced across the Somme in great strength to grasp it.
However, the German eruption swept like a sharp scythe around the right and rear of the Armies of the north. Eight or nine armored divisions, each of about four hundred armored vehicles of different kinds, but carefully assorted to be complementary and divisible into small self-contained units, cut off all communications between us and the main French Armies. It severed our own communications for food and ammunition, which ran first to Amiens and afterwards through Abbeville, and it shore its way up the coast to Boulogne and Calais, and almost to Dunkirk. Behind this armored and mechanized onslaught came a number of German divisions in lorries, and behind them again there plodded comparatively slowly the dull brute mass of the ordinary German Army and German people, always so ready to be led to the trampling down in other lands of liberties and comforts which they have never known in their own.
I have said this armored scythe-stroke almost reached Dunkirk-almost but not quite. Boulogne a.
U Boot Presentation Final
1) German U-boats were a key part of Germany's naval strategy in World War 2, operating worldwide with the goal of disrupting Allied shipping.
2) The "Wolfpack" tactic, developed by Admiral Donitz, involved coordinating groups of U-boats to attack convoys together for greater effectiveness.
3) Key U-boat operations included "Operation Drumbeat" against U.S. shipping from bases in occupied France in 1942, though Allied codebreaking and convoy escorts led to declining successes by 1943.

The 7th U-boat Flotilla was formed in Kiel, Germany in 1938 to operate the newest Type VIlB U-boats. It was named after World War I U-boat commander Bernd Wegener. After Germany's defeat in WWI, the navy was limited in size but German naval experts secretly continued developing new U-boat designs and prototypes were built with foreign assistance. Adolf Hitler came to power in the 1930s and sought to undo restrictions from the Treaty of Versailles.

D-Day: June 6, 1944
D-Day on June 6, 1944 was the largest seaborne invasion in history and a turning point in World War II. Over 150,000 Allied troops landed across five beaches in Normandy, France in an effort to liberate Europe from German occupation. It marked the beginning of months of intense fighting as the Allies pushed into France and eventually Germany itself. While the invasion resulted in over 425,000 casualties on both sides, it succeeded in establishing a strong foothold for the Allies in continental Europe.

This document summarizes three of the worst maritime disasters in history - the sinkings of the Wilhelm Gustloff, General Steuben, and Goya. Each disaster resulted in a loss of over 3,500 lives as the overcrowded ships, carrying thousands of civilians and wounded soldiers as refugees from the advancing Soviet forces, were sunk by Soviet submarines near the end of World War 2. The Wilhelm Gustloff sinking in January 1945 caused at least 5,700 deaths, while the General Steuben in February 1945 and Goya in April 1945 resulted in the loss of 3,500 and nearly 7,000 lives respectively. These little-known events contributed to the massive suffering of German civilians during the final months of the war.
WWI
The document summarizes several major battles of World War I on the Western Front:
1) The Battle of Tannenberg in 1914 resulted in a decisive German victory over Russia, with Russia suffering 170,000 casualties compared to Germany's 12,000.
2) The lengthy Battle of Verdun in 1916 involved heavy losses for both France and Germany, with over 306,000 killed.
3) The Battle of the Somme in 1916 was one of the bloodiest battles, with over 1 million casualties between the UK and Germany over four months of fighting.
4) Other battles mentioned include the First Battle of the Marne in 1914 and the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915-1916 between the British/

Chapter 14 sec.3
WWI introduced new deadly technologies like machine guns, tanks, airplanes, and chemical weapons that led to trench warfare and mass casualties. Trench warfare involved opposing forces dug into networks of trenches, launching artillery and waves of soldiers across no man's land at each other. Over time, tanks and improved tactics allowed breakthroughs of trench lines. Germany's defeat in 1918 led to the punitive Treaty of Versailles and formation of the League of Nations, though the US did not join.

6.5 wwii part 2 (updated)
German plans for Operation Barbarossa began in December 1940, with the goal of invading the Soviet Union. Hitler expected a quick victory but underestimated Soviet strength and the harsh Russian winter. Over 3 million German troops invaded the USSR in June 1941. Although initially successful, German supply lines became overextended, and the Red Army began to push back in December. This marked the turning point in the war, as Hitler's overconfidence and poor preparation for the Russian conditions led to failure of his plans for domination of Europe.
WWI Presentation
The Battle of Somme was a major World War I battle that took place from July to November 1916 along a 30km front in northern France. Over 1 million British and French soldiers attacked German positions, but suffered over 600,000 casualties, especially on the first day where 58,000 British soldiers were killed. The battle resulted in small territorial gains for the Allies but drained German resources. New technologies like tanks were first used during the Somme but had limited success. By November heavy snow and losses on both sides ended the offensive.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Editor's Notes
- The British Grand Fleet steamed eastwards across the North Sea in two groups - the battlecruiser fleet commanded by Admiral Sir David Beatty from its base in Rosyth, and the main battle fleet under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, from its base at Scapa Flow. The German High Seas Fleet moved northwards from Wilhelmshaven in a similar formation, with Admiral Franz Hipper’s faster battlecruisers steaming ahead of the main battle fleet under Admiral Reinhard Scheer. By early morning of 31st May 1916, the British and German fleets were on a collision course but incredibly, neither knew that the other was at sea. Scheer was unaware that his signals were being intercepted, whilst Jellicoe and Beatty were mistakenly informed by the Admiralty at midday that Scheer was still in harbour at Wilhelmshaven. Consequently, when visual contact was made by the advance battlecruisers of Beatty and Hipper at 14.40, this came as a surprise to both sides.
- It included seventeen modern dreadnoughts , five battle cruisers , twenty-five cruisers and twenty pre-dreadnought battleships as well as over forty submarines
- Beatty sights Hipper's leading battlecruisers. Hipper turns towards the South East, hoping to lure Beatty in the direction of Scheer's main battle fleet which is 50 miles to the South and rapidly closing. At this point, Scheer and Hipper must have thought that their plan of detaching Beatty from the British Grand Fleet was working.
- Destruction of the German High Seas Fleet would not harm Germany’s war effort in the slightest, whilst defeat – unlikely, but possible - would cause Britain to lose the war.
