ReplyDeleteStarting in 1911, when Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty (Sec. of the Navy) he pushed for Britain's naval transformation from coal power to oil power. At the same time, Britain established a presence in the Persian Gulf to secure oil reserves, in what would become known as the British Petroleum corporation. As petroleum's importance quickly grew, the West has been embroiled in the region ever since. U.S. foreign policy has largely been driven by Big Oil concerns for decades now.
