1) According to Source 1, what was the “Main fleet to Singapore” strategy of the British in the face of threats from Japan? Explain clearly the importance of Singapore in this strategy.
Singapore is important for its naval base. I can infer that, “It would sail to Singapore to protect Britain’s Far East interests and possesions should they be threatened”. I know this because the war ships from Britain came to Singapore only when Singapore or Malaya was attacked. Thus, Singapore is the only place for protection for Singapore when there is a war in Singapore or Malaya occur.eatened.
