| Abstract | The 1922 Army Reform Bill reduced the Dutch army to a militia. During the period between the two World Wars Dutch army leadership sought to rebuild an army that in several repects (organization, armement, doctrine) could be compared to the armies of great powers like France and Germany. The army leadership pursued this course of action although budget constraints and political opposition stood in the way. This must be attributed to the military culture in army leadership circles in the period. |
