Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes Germany's unchecked naval expansion, which outpaced England's own shipbuilding efforts at the turn of the 20th century. The author outlines the growing threat to England's sovereignty and trade as Germany enacted laws to steadily increase the size of their navy to rival England's. The author argues that this development was not due to immediate military threats but rather part of a broader geopolitical strategy to dominate Europe and potentially the world. The book provides a thought-provoking examination of Germany's naval ambitions in the early 1900s, highlighting its profound implications for the balance of power in Europe and the world.
