The Battle of the River Plate was the first naval battle of the Second World War, fought between British and German naval forces in the South Atlantic Ocean in December 1939. The battle took place off the coast of South America, near the River Plate estuary, which separates Argentina and Uruguay. It was a significant event in the early stages of the war, as it marked the first time that British warships engaged and defeated a German naval force, demonstrating the superiority of British naval power and setting the stage for future battles at sea. The battle began when the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee, under the command of Captain Hans Langsdorff, sailed into the South Atlantic to attack Allied merchant vessels and disrupt their supply lines. The British Navy, aware of the threat posed by the Admiral Graf Spee, sent three cruisers - the Exeter, the Ajax, and the Achilles - to intercept and engage the German ship. The British ships were faster and more maneuverable than the Admiral Graf Spee, but they were also outgunned and outnumbered. Despite this, they bravely pursued the enemy, determined to protect their convoys and defend their nation's interests. On December 13th, the British ships spotted the Admiral Graf Spee and opened fire, but the German ship quickly retreated into the estuary of the River Plate, where it was sheltered from the open ocean and could not be easily followed.
Сражение у реки Плейт - первое морское сражение Второй мировой войны, состоявшееся между британскими и немецкими военно-морскими силами в южной части Атлантического океана в декабре 1939 года. Битва произошла у берегов Южной Америки, недалеко от устья реки Плейт, разделяющей Аргентину и Уругвай. Это было знаменательное событие на ранних этапах войны, поскольку оно ознаменовало первый случай, когда британские военные корабли вступили в бой и разгромили германские военно-морские силы, продемонстрировав превосходство британской морской мощи и подготовив почву для будущих сражений на море. Сражение началось, когда немецкий карманный линкор «Адмирал граф Шпее» под командованием капитана Ганса Лангсдорфа вышел в Южную Атлантику, чтобы атаковать торговые суда союзников и нарушить их линии снабжения. Британский флот, осознавая угрозу, исходящую от «Адмирала графа Шпее», отправил три крейсера - «Эксетер», «Аякс» и «Ахилл» - на перехват и бой с немецким кораблём. Британские корабли были быстрее и маневреннее, чем «Адмирал граф Шпее», но они также были в меньшинстве и численном превосходстве. Несмотря на это, они храбро преследовали врага, будучи полны решимости защищать свои конвои и защищать интересы своей нации. 13 декабря британские корабли заметили «Admiral Graf Spee» и открыли огонь, но немецкий корабль быстро отступил в эстуарий реки Плейт, где был укрыт от открытого океана и за ним было нелегко следить.
La battaglia sul fiume Plate è la prima battaglia navale della seconda guerra mondiale tra le forze navali britanniche e tedesche nell'Atlantico meridionale nel dicembre 1939. La battaglia è avvenuta al largo del Sud America, vicino alla foce del fiume Plate, che divide l'Argentina e l'Uruguay. Fu un evento importante nelle prime fasi della guerra, perché segnò la prima volta che le navi da guerra britanniche entrarono in battaglia e distrussero le forze navali tedesche, dimostrando la supremazia del potere navale britannico e preparando il terreno per le future battaglie in mare. La battaglia è iniziata quando l'Ammiraglio Conte Spay, con il comando del capitano Hans Langsdorf, è uscito nell'Atlantico meridionale per attaccare le navi commerciali alleate e violare le loro linee di rifornimento. La marina britannica, consapevole della minaccia dell'Ammiraglio Conte Spay, ha inviato tre incrociatori, Exeter, Ajax e Achille, per intercettare e combattere una nave tedesca. navi britanniche erano più veloci e manovrabili dell'Ammiraglio Conte Spay, ma erano anche in inferiorità e superiorità numerica. Nonostante ciò, hanno perseguito coraggiosamente il nemico, determinati a difendere i loro convogli e a difendere gli interessi della loro nazione. Il 13 dicembre le navi britanniche hanno avvistato la Admiral Graf Spee e hanno aperto il fuoco, ma la nave tedesca si è rapidamente ritirata nell'estuario del Plate, dove era rifugiata dall'oceano aperto e non era facile da monitorare.

リバープレートの戦いは、193912月に南大西洋でイギリス海軍とドイツ海軍の間で行われた第二次世界大戦の最初の海軍の戦いです。戦いは、アルゼンチンとウルグアイを隔てるプレート川の河口近くの南アメリカの海岸沖で起こりました。イギリスの軍艦がドイツ海軍と交戦して敗北し、イギリスの海軍力の優位性を示し、将来の海戦の舞台となったのは、戦争の初期における画期的な出来事であった。戦闘は、ドイツのポケット戦艦「アドミラル・グラーフ・スペー」がハンス・ラングスドルフ大尉の指揮の下、南大西洋に出航して連合国商船を攻撃し、その補給線を混乱させたことから始まった。イギリス艦隊はアール・スピー提督の脅威に気づき、エクセター、アヤックス、アキレスの3隻の巡洋艦をドイツ艦を迎撃して戦うために派遣した。イギリスの艦船は「アドミラル・アール・スピー」よりも速く機動性に優れていたが、数も劣っていた。それにもかかわらず、彼らは勇敢に敵を追跡し、船団を守り、国の利益を守ることを決意しました。12月13日、イギリス艦は「アドミラル・グラーフ・スピー」を発見して砲撃を開始したが、ドイツ艦はすぐにリバー・プレートの河口に後退し、そこで外洋から保護され、簡単には追跡できなかった。
