第一次世界大战之前,德国转向世界政策,建立庞大海军谋求霸权;英国面临德国挑战,不惜代价确保海军优势。于是德英矛盾空前加剧,两国展开激烈的海军军备竞赛。德英竞相通过一系列海军法案,增加海军经费、扩大舰队规模、开发新型战舰。德英海军军备竞赛导致欧洲两大军事集团最终形成,并对一战结果产生着某种程度的影响。 Prior to the First World War, Germany turned to world policy and established a large navy to seek hegemony. The United Kingdom faced the challenge of Germany and ensured the naval superiority at all costs. As a result, the conflict between Germany and Britain was unprecedentedly intensified, and the two countries engaged in a fierce naval arms race. Germany and Britain are racing to pass a series of naval bills, increasing the funds for the Navy, expanding the size of the fleet and developing new warships. The German-British naval arms race led to the eventual formation of the two European military groups and had a certain degree of impact on the outcome of the World War I.
