How long has Greece had the biggest merchant fleet?
Since the early 1800 when the Ottomans lost a war to the Russians. At that time , Greeks registered their ships to Odessa and carried the Russian Char's colors. When a ship carried the Russian standard, it could not be stopped by Ottoman ships. Later on , under the pretext of protection by pirates, Greek merchant ships started carrying guns, which in the end had a positive effect in the revolution of 1821. Since then Greece has been on the top 3 of merchant navies in the world. If you include the ships with flags of convenience but of Greek interests (i.e. Greek owners) then Greece has had the largest merchant navy for about 200 years.
Why were German ships sinking British American ships in 1914?
There are TWO WAYS to fight a naval war (sea war). Controlling the seas or just conducting guerrilla warfare in it. 1. Guerre de Escadre-One Navy fighting another Navy (Fleet against Fleet) 2. Guerre de Course-Commerce Raiding (attacking merchant ships) If a nation (country) cannot fight another navy because it doesn't have a strong enough navy, then it resorts to Guerre de Course. In 1914, Germany had a weak navy, therefore it used it's submarines to attack allied merchant shipping. Merchant ships carried war supplies, therefore they were sunk.
