Synopsis

The Great War of 189-: A Forecast is a prophetic work by Rear-Admiral P. Colomb and Colonel J. F. Maurice, providing a speculative and strategic analysis of a future world war. Set in the late 19th century, the authors present a detailed, hypothetical scenario of an international conflict between major European powers, focusing on military tactics, technological advancements, and the potential outcomes of such a war. The forecast draws on the military strategies and doctrines of the time, predicting how naval and land forces would engage in a large-scale war. The book also discusses the potential political ramifications of such a conflict, examining the alliances and rivalries that could lead to a global confrontation. Through the lens of military theory and forecasting, The Great War of 189- offers insights into the anxieties and military preparations of the late Victorian era, reflecting the era’s growing concerns over the possibility of a devastating war. Though written as a speculative analysis, the work holds a certain historical significance for its reflections on the nature of warfare and its surprisingly prescient observations about the evolution of modern combat.
