HMS Dreadnought, launched in 1906, was a revolutionary battleship that significantly changed naval warfare with its all-big-gun armament and steam turbine propulsion. After serving in World War I, she was decommissioned and sold for scrap in 1921. The term "dreadnought" became synonymous with a new class of battleships that followed her design. Dreadnought's innovations set the standard for naval construction in the early 20th century.

It was fast, it was sturdy, it was powerful and the race to build them fits in the Militarism cause of World War I.
The HMS Dreadnought, launched in 1906, was equipped with a total of 10 12-inch (305 mm) naval guns in five twin turrets. In addition to these main battery guns, it also carried a number of smaller caliber armaments, including 21-inch torpedo tubes and various smaller guns for close defense.

A dreadnought is a modern all-big-gun (12" guns or larger) battleship. Named for HMS Dreadnought, launched in 1905.
The launching of HMS Dreadnought which led to WWI.
HMS Dreadnought was built in about 12 months, with construction starting in October 1905 and the ship being launched on February 10, 1906. She was completed and commissioned into the Royal Navy by December 1906. This rapid construction time was a significant factor in her status as a revolutionary battleship.
Launching of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 and a new naval arms race leading into WWI.
The biggest result, was that the war caused the creation & launching of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 (keel was laid in October 1905, four months after the battle of Tsushima, which verified the Dreadnought's construction). Dreadnought caused a whole new naval arm's race which led directly into WWI.
The laying of the keel of HMS Dreadnought in Oct 1905 (4 months after the battle of Tsushima). Upon her launching in 1906, "Dreadnought" would start a new worlds's arms race which would culminate into WWI in 1914.
Pre-Dreadnought is a generic naval military term used to describe any warship that A) was built before 1907 or B) Warships that do not share the characteristics of the HMS Dreadnought, ie large long range guns, armoured and compartmentalized hulls, speed in excess of 22 knots and long range fire control. Technically the first pre-dreadnought battleship in the Royal Navy would be a ship of the line. The term "Pre-dreadnought" is synonomous with "Obsolete"
1. Removal of Russia from the European Naval Arms Race. 2. The building (in Oct '05) of HMS Dreadnought.
