Industrial rivalry between Britain and Germany leading up to WW1, was all about the "Arms Race" of Dreadnaughts (Battleships). Any nation could possess an Army; but only a highly sophisticated country possessed a modern Navy. Prior to aircraft and tanks; Armies consisted of just men. Navies consisted of machines (engine powered warships). Consequently, technology was required to build a Navy. Britain's Armies had colonized much of the world, due to England's ability to project her military might with her Royal Navy. If Germany wished to send it's Armies abroad, it too, must have a Navy; and a powerful one to challenge Britain's Fleets. The Kaiser goaded his cousin Nick (Tsar of Russia) into fighting the Japanese in 1904-1905, thus eliminating the Russian Navy as a competitor in the Arms Race. Italy and France were not serious contenders in the eyes of Germany. The US was too far away to be considered a threat. That left Britain. Great Britain & Germany built up their Dreadnaught Fleets and engaged at Jutland in 1916. A battle known as the "Battle of Lost Opportunities", as both sides claimed victory. However, the German Fleet never challenged the English again...and WW1 remained basically a land war.
