The Great Navy War

Compared with the Australasians' unstoppable offensive, the French people seemed somewhat restless and uneasy.

But France was not alone. Another country that had yet to gain much from the war was accompanying it—the British Empire, which had instigated the war against the United States.

The 100,000 troops Britain had dispatched had now all arrived in Canada, and most had taken part in the battles for Augusta and New York.

It seemed unbelievable, but this was indeed the main theme of the war.

Although the United States Army's combat effectiveness was not particularly strong, once the war entered a prolonged war of attrition in the trenches, even the British Army's slight edge in combat power would vanish completely.

Trench warfare did not compare the combat effectiveness of the armies, but the quantity of heavy weapons they possessed and the reserves of ammunition they had.
