Battle of Coronel (570 words)
The Battle of Coronel was a 1914 naval battle off the coast of central Chile.
The Royal Navy, with Japanese assistance, had spent the early months of the war searching for the German East Asiatic commerce-raiding squadron known to be operating under Admiral Spee in the Pacific (Spee having moved from Tsingtao in China once Japan entered the war on Britain's side), without success.
This was promptly dispatched to destroy Spee's force: which it subsequently did, at the Battle of the Falkland Islands.
