The Great War of 1892 was a story of the genre termed "Invasion Literature" written by Admiral Philip Howard Colomb and six co-authors, intended to warn Britain about what he saw as the weakness of the Royal Navy. It was published in Black and White, a weekly magazine which focused on the exploits of Britain's Army and Navy. The fictional story was a collaboration between Colomb and several experienced journalists and officers (such as J.F. Maurice, Archibald Forbes, David Christie Murray) and had been prompted by the success of the 1871 novella The Battle of Dorking by George Tomkyns Chesney.
The story The Great War of 1892 was published as a book under the title The Great War of 189-. A forecast, also in 1892.[1] Its success led in turn to the commissioning of George Griffith's 1893 futuristic fantasy The Angel of the Revolution.
