Features: The author meticulously studied multiple naval wars and sea battles from the 1660s to the early 20th century, and referred to the historical experience of important land battles during this period to form his naval strategy theory. Mahan lived in the era of the United States' transition from free capitalism to monopoly capitalism. At that time, the United States implemented the Monroe Doctrine towards Europe, refusing interference from European powers in American affairs; it promoted an open door and equal opportunity policy in Asia, attempting to carve up Asian countries alongside European powers. The Naval Strategy emerged in this political environment and served this aggressive expansionist policy.
