Abstract:

Britain was economically devastated by World War II. Consequently, she reduced the size of her Army and its presence abroad in order to reap the benefits of the hard won peace. She relied on nuclear deterrence and depended upon the projection of her military forces abroad to secure her national interests. Seventy-three percent of Britains battalions were committed to maintaining the new world order.
