The armies of both France and Germany had more than doubled between 1870 and 1914 and there was a fierce competition between Britain and Germany for mastery of the seas. The British had introduced the 'Dreadnought', an effective battleship, in 1906. The Germans soon followed suit introducing their own battleships. The German, Von Schlieffen also drew up a plan of action that involved attacking France through Belgium if Russia made an attack on Germany.
Germany played a pivotal role in increasing European militarism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries through its rapid industrialization and military expansion. The establishment of a powerful German Empire in 1871, coupled with a significant arms race, particularly with Britain and France, heightened tensions across Europe. Germany's aggressive foreign policy, exemplified by the naval buildup and the Schlieffen Plan, further inflamed rivalries and contributed to an atmosphere of distrust and militarization among European nations. This aggressive stance ultimately set the stage for the onset of World War I.
