By the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Britain had 29 dreadnoughts, while Germany had 17. The dreadnought battleship, introduced in the early 20th century, represented a significant shift in naval warfare due to its heavy firepower and speed. This naval arms race was a key aspect of the tensions leading up to the war.
