National Defence League

The National Defence League was a British political organization founded in 1915 during World War I. Its primary aim was to advocate for increased military preparedness and national security in response to perceived threats, particularly from Germany. The league emphasized the importance of a strong navy and army and sought to influence public opinion and government policy regarding defense. It attracted support from various sectors, including business leaders, military officials, and the public, promoting the idea that a robust defense was essential for protecting the nation and maintaining peace.
