Question

Why did Germany think Britain was weak?(1 point)

Answer 1

Germany believed Britain was weak due to several factors leading up to World War I. One key reason was Britain’s reliance on naval power and its hesitance to engage in land warfare on the continent, particularly after suffering heavy losses in earlier conflicts. Additionally, Germany perceived Britain as being politically divided and preoccupied with its own colonial interests rather than European affairs. The growth of Germany's own military strength and the perception of successful military campaigns also contributed to this belief. Overall, a combination of overconfidence in their own position and misinterpretation of British resolve led to the idea that Britain was vulnerable.
