What happened to Kitchener's control over munitions and strategy?
They were expanded
They were stripped
They were unchanged
They were doubled
Answer
They were removed due to strategic failures on the Western Front, such as the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign and the Shell Crisis of 1915, which exposed severe shortages of artillery shells. These failures eroded confidence in Kitchener's leadership, leading to the establishment of smaller war committees that gradually took over his responsibilities, ultimately diminishing his control over war strategy and production.
