Synopsis
Excerpt from Sea Power by T 124
Nor were such sentiments by any means confined to Britain. In most of the maritime countries of the world, Mahan's interpretations of naval history excited lively interest and discussion, and called into being a body of supporters. But there was one European country in particular where the Mahan thesis was studied with specially close attention. To the military leaders Of Germany, the lessons pointed by Mahan seemed pregnant with meaning; and to no one more than their supreme head. The young Kaiser Wilhelm II was enthralled by the brilliant seascape that Mahan had painted. 'i am just now', he wrote, 'not reading but devouring Captain Mahan's book; and am trying to learn it by heart It is on board all my Ships and constantly quoted by my captains and officers.' He was already possessed of the world's most powerful army. But at sea Germany was weak; had always been weak. Compared to that of either Britain or France, the German fleet was insignificant. Neither Bismarck nor his predecessors had seen the need for naval strength. German land forces alone had sufficed to crush the Danes, the Austrians and the French in succession. But now that the unification of the German states into a German Empire was an accomplished fact.
