Tensions over Taiwan mirror British-French struggle over Antwerp

Tensions over Taiwan are being compared to the historical struggle between Britain and France over Antwerp, according to a recent post by The Bazaar of War on X. The post outlines a strategic logic where a sea power, motivated by the need to protect allies and contain a naval rival, faces off against a land power seeking freedom of maneuver.

This analogy highlights the complexities of current geopolitical dynamics in the Taiwan Strait, reflecting the ongoing competition between major powers in the region. The historical context of the British-French rivalry serves as a framework for understanding the motivations and actions of the involved nations today.
