Abstract
During the First World War, the British leadership faced the complex problem of defi ning its war aims, notably of combining purely material interests around the world with proclaimed idealistic principles. The most important declaration of war aims was a public speech, delivered by Prime Minister D. Lloyd George on January 5, 1918. Britain could not imagine the end of the war without the liberation of Belgium and northern France as well as maintaining of the occupied territories - the German colonies and Mesopotamia. No compromise peace with Germany was possible. The future of Central Europe and Western regions of Russia interested London in a much lesser degree. It was only important to prevent German domination there.
