Immediately prior to World War I, the only nation that challenged British naval supremacy was the Imperial German Navy. Since the British had entered amicable treaties with other European (France, Russia) and Asian powers (Japan) only the German Imperial navy remained as an opponent to the British naval supremacy.

Between 1900 and 1914 the nation which considered Great Britain a threat was Germany under the rule of Kaiser Willhelm II and his eagerness to build a naval fleet capable of challenging Britain´s.

From 1898 on, Germany began to build a battle fleet, which encouraged Great britain to join the naval race, focusing on the construction of a new class of battleship: The Dreadnought, which would be the lead for new battleships thereafter.

Great Britain was by far the most powerful naval force in the world at the time, Germany was aware of this. Germans did not expect to defeat Great Britain but to force them to make diplomatic concessions, however, any threat to Great Britain´s Naval power was considered a threat to the nation itself, since one of Britain´s main strengths was sea trade.

Altough this arm race had been going for years now, it was not until Germany´s Bill 0f 1908 that the damage to the Germany-Britain relationship proved to be irreversible and Britain was forced to meet the German challenge; Being this was of the causes of the conflict in 1914.

When the price of a capital good increases, what happens to the prices of related consumer goods and services? Why?

valkas [14]

The correct answer is that the consumer goods increase in price too. A capital good would be something like flour and the consumer good would be something like bread. If the price of flour jumps up, so does the price of bread. Governments sometime regulate this to protect the citizen by putting a limit so the price doesn't grow, but it pays for the rest to the baker.

Answer:

The Great War, generally known as World War I, erupted in 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. His assassination triggered a European war that lasted until 1918. Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire (the Central Powers) battled against the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan, and the United States during the war (the Allied Powers). World War I saw unparalleled rates of death and death due to new weapons technology and the horrors of trench warfare. By the time the war ended and the Allies declared victory, more than 16 million people had died, both soldiers and civilians.

The war began primarily as a result of four factors: militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism. Because large militaries have become potential threats to other countries, some governments have begun to compel alliances in order to acquire land.

After 128 Americans were killed by a German submarine, the United States entered World War I. A German submarine sank the British passenger liner Lusitania in 1915. In total, 1,195 people, including 128 Americans, were killed. Americans were horrified and pressed the US government to join the war. President Woodrow Wilson desired a peaceful conclusion to the war, but when the Germans warned that their submarines would sink any ship approaching Britain, Wilson declared that America would enter the war and bring peace to Europe. On April 6, 1917, the United States entered the war.
