Did Britain disarm after ww1

Answer 1

Yes, after World War I, Britain significantly reduced its military capabilities as part of a broader trend of disarmament among many nations. The Treaty of Versailles imposed restrictions on Germany, but Britain also sought to reduce its own armed forces, believing that a smaller military was sufficient for maintaining peace. This disarmament was influenced by a desire to avoid the devastation of another conflict and to redirect resources toward economic recovery. However, this reduction in military strength would later be criticized as contributing to the challenges faced in the lead-up to World War II.
