British re-armament before World War II
Military rearmament carried out in the United Kingdom between 1934 and 1939 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British re-armament was a period in British history, between 1934 and 1939, when a substantial programme of re-arming the United Kingdom was undertaken. Re-armament was deemed necessary, because defence spending had gone down from £766 million in 1919–20, to £189 million in 1921–22, to £102 million in 1932.[1]
