How about some First World War preparations?
So this guy Alfred Peter Friedrich von Tirpitz with a long name and a cool hair style proposed the following:
The German Empire should double its navy by 1917 to 38 battleships,20 large cruisers 45 small cruisers and several torpedo boats.
Why did he want to do this?
At the time there was a Two Power Standard meaning that there were 2 British ships for evrery German ship. He knew that Germanies navy could not overtake the British Empires navy so he wanted the ratio to change to 3:2 instead of it being 2:1.
The other reason Alfred Peter Friedrich von Tirpitz wanted a large navy was so the German Empire could defend its self from aggressors ( the British Empire ) and so the nation could protect its colonies.
Please let me know what you think about the post in the comments.
BTW no post tomorrow.
