During both "World" wars, Germany relied primarily on its U-boat (submarine) force. Underseaboat, I think many called it.

It did have a regular navy with above water ships too. The battle of Jutland demonstrated that, but the regular navy didn't see much use in WWI, as the British Navy, even bigger and more monstrous, effectively shut it away from action.

But WWII? Germany's navy was pretty...well-armed, we shall say. Bismarck happened to be the largest Battleship assembled, violating international treaties (not that it really mattered). Its sinking was very big news.

It did not have, however, aircraft carriers and naval engagements on the order of the Japanese-US naval engagements.

In 1914 did Germany have enough battleships for the Risk Theory to be successful and why?

In 1914, Germany had a formidable fleet, but it was not sufficient to ensure the success of the Risk Theory, which posited that a strong naval presence could deter adversaries through the threat of decisive battle. Germany's naval capabilities were still developing compared to the British Royal Navy, which maintained a significant advantage in both numbers and experience. Additionally, the strategic focus on a high seas fleet was undermined by the need to engage in multiple fronts during World War I, diluting the effectiveness of Germany's naval strategy. Ultimately, the imbalance in naval power and the challenges of wartime logistics hindered the successful application of the Risk Theory.

The naval race between Britain and Germany in the early 20th century was primarily driven by Germany's desire to challenge British naval supremacy and expand its own empire. Germany aimed to build a powerful navy to protect its growing trade and colonies, leading to increased tensions as Britain sought to maintain its dominance. This competition was marked by the construction of dreadnought battleships, symbolizing national power and prestige, ultimately contributing to the militarization of the two nations and the broader tensions leading up to World War I.
