The Political aspect comprises political and internal events in all countries including notes, speeches, diplomatic, financial, economic and domestic matters. These include mobilisations, declarations of war and similar semi-military matters. Diplomatic documents or despatches referring to definite active operations come under the column concerned, for example, a note on the sinking of the Lusitania would come under "Naval," but a note on submarine warfare in general would come under "Political."[1]
