Is when a country takes over new lands or countries and makes them subject to their rule. After Wilhelm II was crowned Kaiser in 1888, Wilhelm forced the former Chancellor (Prime Minister) Bismarck to resign. Wilhelm had disagreements with Bismarck over virtually everything. Bismarck longed for Germany to stay a land-based European power, Wilhelm desired Germany to follow Weltpolitik or world policy. This was meant to turn Germany into a world power with a large colonial empire. German economic and population growth made Germany more powerful, and by 1913 was second only to USA. Wilhelm also wanted the status of colonies plus the added economic expansion this would bring, but Germany only got small or poor colonies. The consequence of Wilhelm's action and policy upset every other major country involved with Germany, caused distrust and started the arms race. So no not really.
