Prior to the beginning of world war i which nation challenge great britain before supremacy of the seas

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.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”

they chose sides following the death of the islamic prophet muhammad in ad 632. a dispute over succession to islamic prophet muhammad as a caliph of the islamic community spread across various parts of the world, which led to the battle of jamal and battle of siffin.
