"Whoever controls the Indian Ocean will dominate Asia". These words were said by which person ?
Answer: A
The words are attributed to Admiral Mahan.
Alfred Thayer Mahan, the American naval officer whose The Influence of Sea Power upon History (1890) made the case that command of the sea decides the fate of great powers, is the person to whom this line is commonly credited: whoever controls the Indian Ocean will dominate Asia. The exact sentence is hard to find in his books, but the attribution to Mahan is the standard one in Indian strategic writing on the Indian Ocean.
Nehru, Admiral Nelson and General MacArthur are not linked with this saying.
