In World War 1 the two countries were at war with one another, so I assume the real question is: Why had relations between the two countries become bad? * In 1897 Germany had embarked on a large programme of naval expansion, with the purpose of challenging British supremacy. * From about 1905-6 onwards Britain aligned itself with France and Russia. * In August 1914 Germany invaded neutral Belgium.
World War 1 and World War 2 were many battles between Germany and Britain.
Well Germany and Britain werent the only ones fighting but if its the Battle of Britain then the Brittish won that battle.
Germany wanted an empire like Britain and France had. Unfortunately, Britain and France owned over half of the world between them and Britain also had the world's best navy, so Germany would have to both increase the size of its navy and fight Britain and France for colonial possessions. This damaged relations
There was a deal between Germany and Britain that Germany will not attack France but Hitler break the deal and attacked France, hence Britain jumped into the world war 2.
United States and Great Britain vs. Germany
Britain forgave Germany after the war
I don't agree that the war between Britain and Germany was inevitable because they could always have peace proposals and peace talks where they will talk about what will they do for the betterment of each countries.
it has been difficult because Germany and Britain have always been at war with each other from the blitz to world war 2 , Hitler has destroyed Britain several times.
Germany was Britain's main enemy.
Germany wanted Europe (plus Russia) and Japan wanted Asia (plus the Pacific), they were probably intending on settling any differences later.
Germany was conquering all of Europe. It wanted to take down Britain because basically, Britain was just standing in their way of World Dominance.
Both world wars had Germany on one side and Britain, France, the United States, Russia, and China on the other. Differences include the fact that the Russia of World War I was the imperial Russian Empire while the Russia of World War II was the communist Soviet Union. Countries that changed sides include Turkey (for Germany in World War I, neutral in World War II), the Austro-Hungarian Empire (for Germany in World War I, no longer existed by the time of World War II), Italy (against Germany in World War I, for Germany in World War II), and Japan (against Germany in World War I, for Germany in World War II).
