Britain
During World War II, the Axis Powers threatened other countries in both Europe and Asia with land invasions, air attacks, and naval assaults. In the European theater, Germany and Italy threatened countries in and around Europe, including North African and Middle Eastern nations and well beyond with the three arms of their military (land, air, naval). In the Pacific and in the same way, Japanese forces threatened nations in southeast Asia, the central Pacific, and well beyond, including Australia.
Kaiser Wilhelm II played a significant role in the development of the German navy and the arms race before World War I. He pushed for the expansion of the German navy to challenge British naval supremacy, leading to increased tensions between the two countries. This naval arms race was a key factor in the buildup to World War I.
Britain was most powerful due to its naval superiority and industrial advances.
There are currentely 86 countries that are recognized to have a Coast Guard. While some countries Naval forces operate under both pretenses, only 86 have official units portraying Coast Guard activities.
The naval arms race, particularly between Britain and Germany, heightened tensions and rivalries among European powers leading up to World War I. The competition to build superior naval fleets fostered an atmosphere of militarism and distrust, as nations sought to assert their dominance. This race not only escalated arms expenditures but also contributed to the formation of alliances, ultimately creating a volatile environment that made conflict more likely. The resulting naval buildup became a symbol of national pride and power, further entrenching the divisions that would ignite the war.
It was the only nation that expressed a desire to challenge Britain. France and Italy were friendly, and Russia had been removed from the naval race when they lost 2/3rd of their battleship fleets during their 1904 war.

A naval battle is when two opposing navies fight each other on the sea - usually during a war between two or more countries.
Many have Marines.... not a whole corps worth, though. In some countries, they're referred to as Naval Infantry.
