Historians long have credited Alfred Thayer Mahan with shaping Theodore Roosevelt's ideas about sea power. In fact, the future President's fascination with ships dated back to his childhood and his opinions on naval expansion to his college years. link |

That doesn't mean Mahan couldn't have influence his ideas about sea power. He may have been interested in naval issues from childhood, but Mahan could have given his interests (strategic) focus. Like many things, many want to find an independent variable, but this is certainly a case where there could be (a variety) of dependent variables. All can play a factor. |
