As was the Kaiser's plan, he eliminated his cousin Nicky's (Tsar Nicolas) Russian battlehip fleets by goading him into the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, thus allowing only Germany's battleships to challenge the Royal Navy in 1914. The German High Seas Fleet only engaged the Grand Fleet once...at the Battle of Lost Opportunities (Jutland) in 1916. Both sides claimed victory.
Britain built 29 ships, Germany built 17. So that makes 46

The arms race created two rival power blocks after the England developed the Dreadnoughts. This is what lead up to the outbreak of World War I and Britain joining forces with France and Russia.
When Hitler ordered a Polish invasion, Britain and France declared war.
It was the only nation that expressed a desire to challenge Britain. France and Italy were friendly, and Russia had been removed from the naval race when they lost 2/3rd of their battleship fleets during their 1904 war.
Britain started building dreadnoughts because they needed to fight for the war and needed protection.

There should be only ONE battleship moored/emplaced in Great Britain, the "WOODEN" warship HMS Victory; Admiral Horatio Nelson's flagship from the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar. There is a steel battleship moored/emplaced in Japan, Admiral Togo's flagship from the 1905 Battle of Tsushima.
built THE Dreadnaught but all similar warships were also called dreadnoughts. By 1914, Britain, Germany, the United States, France, Japan, Austria-Hungary and Italy all possessed 1 or more dreadnaughts.
Great Britain Had over 300 million Indians at their empire but didn\'t use them to fight the Germans so they wouldn\'t turn against them.
