"The First World War naval Battle of Coronel took place on 1 November 1914 off the coast of central Chile near the city of Coronel. German Kaiserliche Marine forces led by Vice-Admiral Graf Maximilian von Spee met and defeated a Royal Navy squadron commanded by Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock.The engagement probably took place as a result of a series of misunderstandings. Neither admiral expected to meet the other in full force."@en . . "German victory" . "2 armoured cruisers" . "2armoured cruisers" . "1914-11-01Z"^^ . . . "1light cruiser" .
