Great Britain was able to build ships and make weapons. (If you're talking about World War I: Britain also had a larger navy, more support in the U.S., they had more men, and a much larger empire.)

The reasons for </span>war were<span> many, but there </span>were<span> two immediate ones: </span>America's<span> support the ongoing struggle by Cubans and Filipinos against </span>Spanish<span> rule, and the mysterious explosion of the battleship U.S.S.

Hi!
The central idea of the metaphor was that the people in the lifeboat are the rich nations, whereas those that are drowning are the poor nations.
This metaphor is known as lifeboat ethics, and is used to illustrate the distribution of resources.
The metaphor depicts a lifeboat which is boarded by 50 people (the wealthy nations), and 100 people swimming in the surrounding water at risk of drowning. The 'ethical issue' is stirred by the fact that there is room for 10 more people on this lifeboat, and if the surrounding people should be taken aboard -and if so, what would be the conditions of such an act.
Hope this helps!
