    Victory Without Peace concentrates on the U.S. Navy in European and Near Eastern waters during the post-World War I era. As participants in the Versailles peace negotiations, the Navy was charged with executing the naval terms of the Armistice as well as preserving stability and peace. U.S. warships were deploying into the Near East, Baltic, Adriatic, and Northern Europe, while simultaneously withdrawing its demobilized forces from European waters. This signifies the first time the U.S. Navy contributed to peacetime efforts, setting a precedent continues today. Conversely, Congressional appropriations handicapped this deployment by demobilization, general naval policy and postwar personnel, and operating funds reductions. Though reluctant to allocate postwar assets into seemingly unimportant European and Near Eastern waters, the Navy was pressured by the State Department and the American Relief Administration’s leader, Herbert Hoover, to deploy necessary forces. Most of these were withdrawn by 1924 and the European Station assumed the traditional policy of showing the flag.

    Victory Without
    Peace
    The United States Navy in European
    Waters, 1919-1924

    “William Still skillfully relates how the U.S. Navy’s European


    commanders protected American citizens and property and
    assisted refugees in the Baltic, Adriatic, Black, and Aegean Seas,
    and particularly at Smyrna, during the 1920s.”
    —William S. Dudley, Ph.D., Director of Naval History, 1995-
    2004

    Victory Without Peace concentrates on the U.S. Navy in


    European and Near Eastern waters during the post-World War I
    era. As participants in the Versailles peace negotiations, the Navy was charged with executing the naval
    terms of the Armistice as well as preserving stability and peace. U.S. warships were deploying into the
    Near East, Baltic, Adriatic, and Northern Europe, while simultaneously withdrawing its demobilized
    forces from European waters. This signifies the first time the U.S. Navy contributed to peacetime efforts,
    setting a precedent continues today.

    Conversely, Congressional appropriations handicapped this deployment by demobilization, general naval


    policy and postwar personnel, and operating funds reductions. Though reluctant to allocate postwar assets
    into seemingly unimportant European and Near Eastern waters, the Navy was pressured by the State
    Department and the American Relief Administration’s leader, Herbert Hoover, to deploy necessary
    forces. Most of these were withdrawn by 1924 and the European Station assumed the traditional policy of
    showing the flag.

    William N. Still Jr. (Greenville, NC) is an American maritime historian who was the first director of the
    program in maritime history at East Carolina University and a noted author of works on U.S. Civil War
    history and U.S. naval history.
