Germany and Great Britain

Between 1900 and 1910, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Germany's leader, implemented a series of policies in an attempt to design a battle fleet that could rival that of Great Britain. At the time, England had the most powerful navy in the world (mainly protective of trade) making the country immune to invasion. Due to Germany's efforts, a naval race began between the two countries. By 1910, Germany had redirected much of its efforts to the army.
