Whilst from the first the British were obliged to assume what may be called a tactical offensive, they were acting, so to speak, strategically on the defensive so long as they were only trying to block the Turkish advance into areas which were and are of vital im- portance to them. By those who can only look at maps it is argued that the British object would have been achieved and that they should have contented themselves with the accomplishment of the first stage and with the occupation of Ku...rna. But militarily this would not have been sufficient. Owing to its position at the junction of the two rivers, this place 80 THE CRADLE OF THE WAR would have been open to an attack from the north by way of the Tigris and from the west along the Eu- phrates. Moreover as was proved by the determined Turkish thrust into Persia and upon Ahwaz — a thrust the effects of which were put an end to by the opera- tions conducted by General Gorringe in Persian terri- tory during May, 1915 — the enemy would still have been able to attack the Persian oil fields.
