Hi WWI was a pretty strange affair all round. It started, officially, with the assassination of a little-known Austrian Arch-Duke, and it was essentially a war that nobody wanted, but had to happen because everybody had some kind of protection treaty with everyone else in Europe at that time. As far as England and Germany specifically are concerned, it becomes even more peculiar when you understand that the British Royal Family are actually direct descendents of the German Royal Family, and it was not until the first war that the British royals thought it might be a good idea to change their name from the German Hapsburgs to the very English Windsors. Why was England threatened by Germany? Well, it might have something to do with the fact that London was being regularly bombed by German Zeppelin airships. That might do it. Phil

∙ 11y agoIn both World War I and World War II, German control over Europe was prevented by the intervention of outside countries such as Great Britain, Russia, and the US. Just as England had constantly warred with France and Spain, in the 20th century the major conflicts were with Germany.
The British Navy was larger than the German Navy, so contesting at sea was never a great option. However, the Germans built up large and well-equipped armies in the early 1900s, and again from 1933 to 1939. In both cases, they were able to conquer or control large areas of Western Europe. The physical isolation of Britain prevented its immediate conquest, and it became the base from which the Allies staged counterattacks, against the Central Powers from 1914 to 1918 and against the Axis from 1940 to 1945.
