The Anglo-German naval rivalry was not a main cause of WW1 but it did contribute. One of the main points is about the HMS Dreadnoughts (His Majesty's Ship) which Britain (Anglo) had built. Germany feared the Britains were catching up to them in the Naval Arms department and so decided to make 4 of these Dreadnoughts. This rivalry started an Arms Race or as some called it , 'Anglo-German naval rivalry'. Actually you will find that the Germans felt they needed a navy in order to protect their on growing trade routes and colonies such as modern day Tanzania. This did not sit weel with the british since they had been comandors of the seas since 1805 and the battle of trafulgar. They felt threatend and with it built the first of a new line of battle ships, the HMS Dreadnought. With the Germans picking up the idea they followed on. by the start of WWI the british finished with 29 dreadnoughts and the Germans 17. The fact that the Germans had threatend the british military pride ripped the two nations even further apart, and yes it was no of the reasons for the cause to WWI.
