This video aims to be a short documentary looking at a fairly unknown/ misunderstood plan advocated by Sir John ’Jackie’ Fisher, the British First Sea Lord. It involved using Britain’s greatest strategic asset, the Royal Navy, to severe German trade in the Baltic, specifically with Sweden. This would have brought about a collapse of the German economy, and a victory for Britain in the First World War, without the immense cost of the Western Front.
