- W652431768 abstract "This study examines the part that Malta played in British military strategy in theperiod between the mid-1920s and the end of the war in North Africa in May 1943.A well-equipped British naval base had been established at Malta in thenineteenth century, and its importance increased after the end of the First World War.This was because it was chosen as the base for the Royal Navy's 'Main Fleet', largelyto allow it to move more rapidly to the Far East in the event of war with Japan. It wasessential that such an important base be adequately protected against sea or air attack,especially after Anglo-Italian relations deteriorated during the Abyssinian crisis of1935-6, but the completion of an effective defence scheme was continually deferred.The reasons for this delay, and its impact on Malta's strategic value, are considered inthe first part of this study, and the conclusion is reached that, given Britain's scarceresources, Malta was not unduly neglected.When Italy declared war on 10 June 1940 Malta was immediately bombed, butno attempt was made to capture the island. This allowed the British authorities tostrengthen Malta's defensive and offensive capabilities in order, primarily, to reduce theflow of supplies to the Axis forces in North Africa. The second part of this studyexamines the factors that, at times, limited Malta's offensive operations and weighsthese failures against the successes achieved at other times. This analysis concludes thatthe British derived significant operational advantages from the use of bases at Malta. Inparticular, during three critical periods when Allied offensives were in progress navaland air forces operating from Malta by sinking and damaging enemy shippingsignificantly reduced the flow of enemy supplies to North Africa and thereby made amajor contribution to reducing Axis strength." @default.
