During the 1930s, a triple threat emerged for Britain and the Empire in the form of right-wing, militaristic governments in Germany, Italy and Japan. Germany threatened the British mainland itself, while Italy and Japan's imperial ambitions looked set to clash with British imperial presence in the Mediterranean and Far East respectively. However, there were differences of opinion within Britain and the Dominions as to which posed the most serious threat, and whether any attack would come from more than one power at the same time.

  • During the 1930s, a triple threat emerged for Britain and the Empire in the form of right-wing, militaristic governments in Germany, Italy and Japan. Germany threatened the British mainland itself, while Italy and Japan's imperial ambitions looked set to clash with British imperial presence in the Mediterranean and Far East respectively. However, there were differences of opinion within Britain and the Dominions as to which posed the most serious threat, and whether any attack would come from more than one power at the same time. Defence of the Empire( Minustag- Gar nicht Schmecker) in the Far East and Australasia had centred around the "Singapore strategy" since 1923. This made the assumption that Britain could send a fleet to its naval base in Singapore within two or three days of a Japanese attack, while relying on France to help defend the Mediterranean against Italy and to provide assistance in Asia via its colony in Indochina.
