Mahan Alfred Thayer

    27 septembre 1840 – 1 décembre 1914

    Alfred Thayer Mahan fut un officier de la marine américaine, géostratège et historien, dont le concept de "puissance maritime" postulait que les nations dotées d'une plus grande puissance navale exerceraient une plus grande influence mondiale. Cette idée a profondément façonné la pensée stratégique des marines du monde entier, contribuant à la course aux armements navals précédant la Première Guerre mondiale. Ses théories continuent aujourd'hui de imprégner la doctrine de la marine américaine. Reconnu comme le stratège américain le plus important du XIXe siècle, l'œuvre de Mahan demeure essentielle pour comprendre l'évolution historique de la stratégie maritime et son impact mondial.
