The British Navy's Mediterranean activities during the interwar period between the First and Secoond World Wars are covered in this book. The Mediterranean Fleet entered the 1930s looking back to the lessons of Jutland and the First World War but also seeking to incorporate new technologies, notably air power. A lack of funds to remedy deficiencies hampered progress. The problem became critical during the Abyssinian crisis of 1935 and the following Spanish Civil War in June 1936 complicated matters further. The Mediterranean Fleet was soon involved in evacuations of British and other endangered foreigners from Spanish ports as well as the protection of British flagged merchant ships in the war zone. There followed an increase of tension with Germany in 1938 that culminated with the Czechoslovak crisis in September. The Spanish Civil War ended in 1939 with the victory of the Nationalists and the Mediterranean Fleet was again involved in evacuations. The prospect of war with Germany and possibly Italy was quite clear and serious preparations for war continued. The plans for war in the Mediterranean are reproduced in detail.
