Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the various constraints under which the conduct of British strategy operated during the French Wars - examples include its political and geographical situation, its far-flung colonial interests and its limited military resources and its need to maintain a strong alliance system in continental Europe - and shows how the direction that it took closely mirrored a variety of campaigns in the eighteenth century. That said, the position in which Britain found herself in the struggle against the French Revolution and Napoleon was frequently contradictory, and it is no coincidence that it was some time before the ideal combination of strategies was found that marked the period 1808-14. The fact that the difficulties involved were overcome said a great deal for the underlying strength of the British state.

Summary/Abstract |
Mapping became an important element in the mechanics of European diplomacy in the century and one-half after the Peace of Westphalia. This element was linked to what has been seen as a more defined notion of frontiers, a move away from the idea of a frontier as a zone to, instead, the idea of a distinct border that could be reproduced and charted on a map as a line. This change reflected a greater stress on undivided sovereignty, which made ambiguous relationships, such as that between France and ten Alsatian cities established by the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, unacceptable to some rulers. However, traditional ideas proved to be very persistent and mapping often served simply to clarify the existence of incompatible notions and disputed territories.

Summary/Abstract |
An understanding of cartography was very important to success in the Second World War. Indeed, in 1938 Werner von Fritsch, Germany’s Chief of Staff, declared ‘The nation with the best photoreconnaissance will win the next war’. This article considers a range of cartographic expertise and impact.

Summary/Abstract |
Two hundred years on from the last conflict between the US and UK, what lessons might today's global power draw from the problems and dilemmas faced in a two-front war by its long-eclipsed predecessor? The War of 1812 - a limited conflict in which neither side achieved much in the way of success - offers a number of enduring lessons across the centuries; not least, that the strength and capability of a major power can only usefully be considered in specific spheres, rather than in aggregate terms.

Summary/Abstract |
The Battle of Waterloo, so iconic to the Victorians, is altogether less relevant to modern Britain's self-image. Though the image of stalwart defence and triumph over unreason and tyranny is an enduring motif in the British narrative, Waterloo has been eclipsed in popular consciousness by the battles of the Second World War. Nevertheless, Waterloo remains a significant milestone in world history, for it assured the dominance, for better or worse, of a European model of liberal capitalism.

Summary/Abstract |
The Revolution in Military Affairs has generally been viewed in terms of modernisation. But it is also a doctrine and a discourse, designed to meet political goals and to anchor technological and operational reform.
