Sir Henry Wilson remains one of the most controversial British Army generals of the Great War. A colourful character in life, he attracted admirers and detractors in equal measure; in death, his reputation was ruined by a biography based on his personal diaries. The Wilson of the historiography is, at best, a politician rather than a soldier, at worst an ambitious Francophile intriguer. This thesis looks beyond this accepted characterisation, reassessing his role in the formation of British and Allied strategy in the final months of the war. Wilson attained influence, and subsequently power, when Lloyd George consulted him after failing to persuade Britain’s leading generals to change their strategic focus. The thesis re-examines Wilson’s policy critique, which led to the creation of the Supreme War Council, and negated plans for a major Allied offensive on the Western Front in 1918. This thesis aims to shine new light on Wilson’s work on the Council, with an analysis of its policy recommendations. The research will also explore the manpower crisis, the key issue for the entente in this period, and Wilson’s contribution to the establishment of Allied unity of command. The diplomatic skills Wilson deployed to defuse serious strains between the entente powers will be examined, with particular reference to his time as Chief of the Imperial General Staff. His contribution to the debate on Britain’s post-war imperial grand strategy will also be evaluated. The thesis will refute the long-established onedimensional view of Wilson and suggest that he played a more influential role in British strategic development than has hitherto been acknowledged.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar a influência da Arquitetura Japonesa Tradicional sobre o Ocidente, evidenciando as relações diretas das casas tradicionais japonesas com as primeiras casas modernistas ocidentais do início do século XX, através da analise de seus conceitos,de suas técnicas e de suas composições. Primeiramente, mostra-se a história, a concepção espacial e os elementos da Arquitetura Japonesa Tradicional, para se ter a compreensão de como os japoneses percebem, distintamente do Ocidente, o mundo físico e a sua dimensão psicológica. A seguir são selecionadas algumas obras do arquiteto ocidental Frank Lloyd Wright que demonstram as influências recebidas através do seu contato com o Japão, traçando assim um paralelo entre Arquitetura Japonesa Tradicional e Arquitetura Moderna Ocidental. Por fim, procura-se o entendimento de um novo produto gerado, quando as expressões e as técnicas japonesas tradicionais se fundem com as formas e com os espaços ocidentais. / This paper aims on demonstrating the influence of Traditional Japanese Architecture on the West, pointing out the direct reletions between the Tradicional Japanese Houses and the first modern houses in the begining of 20th century, through the analysis of its concepts, techniques and composition. Firstly the history, the spatial conception and the elements of the Tradicional Japanese Architecture are presented in order to understand how japanese perceive the physical world and its psychological aspects. Some work of western architect Frank Lloyd Wright,which demmonstrate the influences of his contact with Japan, are selected to follow, therefore stablishins a paralel between Japanese Traditional and modern western architecture. Finaly, an understanding of a new product is pursued, when the tradidional japanese expression and technics merge with western form and space.
