The Ten Year Rule was a British government guideline, first adopted in August 1919, that the armed forces should draft their estimates "on the assumption that the British Empire would not be engaged in any great war during the next ten years". The suggestion for the rule came from Winston Churchill, who in 1919 was Secretary of State for War and Air.
