Summary: "The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660-1783" by A. T. Mahan is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The work analyzes the consequences and significance of naval power in shaping geopolitical dynamics and determining the outcomes of conflicts between nations. Mahan argues that sea power has played a crucial role in the historical events from the end of the 17th century until the American Revolutionary War, highlighting how control of the sea can influence a nation's prosperity and security. The opening of the text sets the stage for Mahan's inquiry into the historical interplay between sea power and national fortunes. He notes the tendency of historians to overlook the vital importance of maritime strength, emphasizing that this work aims to rectify that by examining specific historical instances where this influence was paramount. Mahan outlines the interconnectedness of sea commerce, naval policy, and military strategy, suggesting that a nation’s ability to project power at sea directly affects its success and stability. He emphasizes both the lessons learned from past naval engagements and the potential applications of those lessons to contemporary geopolitical conditions.
