The rise of the German Empire after …
Years: 1888 - 1899
The rise of the German Empire after 1871 poses a new challenge to Britain, for it (along with the United States) threatens to take Britain's place as the world's foremost industrial power.
Germany acquires a number of colonies in Africa and the Pacific, but Chancellor Otto von Bismarck has succeeded in achieving general peace through his balance of power strategy.
When William II becomes German emperor in 1888, he discards Bismarck, begins using bellicose language, and plans to build a navy to rival Britain's.
