Changing nature of warfare in relation to the use of new technologies, specifically at sea, in relation to international law and traditional views concerning neutrality at sea

Technology and International Affairs 3-5 pages AHL editorial staff has taken notice of your previous pieces and believes you are now ready for a more challenging assignment. Not only will this assignment be more challenging, but also our editorial staff will be assessing your performance more carefully and more stringently. Assignment: AHL needs for you to complete a special piece that connects our “International Affairs” section with our weekly feature on “Technology.” This week’s issue will centerpiece World War I. We need you to write an article about the changing nature of warfare in relation to the use of new technologies, specifically at sea, in relation to international law and traditional views concerning neutrality at sea. Prompt: How did U-boat technology influence naval strategy and views concerning neutrality in World War I? Your piece should focus on the following concepts that can be broken into four conceptual categories. This is just a way of looking at the assignment. This is one holistic assignment. This assignment should not be viewed as four independent parts, but as four concepts that need to be pieced together to form a single essay. Category 1: What new technologies, specifically at sea, played an important role in World War I? Who took advantage of these new technologies and what strategies did they employ? Why? Category 2: Did this invite any potential problems with neutral nations? Why? What typical terms existed for neutral countries and their maritime activity prior to this conflict? What stipulations were required in engaging a vessel, both of an enemy nation and of that of a neutral nation? Did any countries differ on their thoughts of these requirements? Category 3: Did new technologies conflict with traditional views of neutrality? What problems emerged between belligerent nations and neutral nations related to these issues? What specific rules of engagement did the United States, a neutral power, call for? In relation, did the Central Powers, specifically Germany, support or oppose these stipulations? Why? Category 4: Your article should also address some events and moments that called these questions of neutrality and naval technology into question. Your article must specifically connect these events to the themes discussed throughout your piece. Our research department has compiled some basic resources you may be interested in consulting when writing your first assignment. See Journey Journalist Resources 2.
