The competition between germany and great britain up until the outbreak of world war i was centered on what?

The competition between England and Germany is considered one of the main reasons for the outbreak of the First World War.

After the death of two Kaisers in Germany - William I and Frederick III in 1888, William II came to power in Germany. The new Kaiser worsened relations with the Russian imperial and British royal houses. Germany declared Britain a trade war. Great Britain, seeking to catch up with its rival, withdrew from the policy of "brilliant" isolation and began to create an anti-German bloc of states. Finally, these countries became leaders of two opposing blocs of states - the Entente and the Triple Alliance.

In the system of European contradictions of the early 20th century, the Anglo-German conflict occupied a special place. Great Britain and Germany were the leading European powers in both their economic potential and political influence. In the system of international relations that had developed in the 70s of the 19th century and existed before the First World War, both powers claimed and at various stages exercised the functions of an arbiter.

The problem of naval weapons was a constant source of tension in Anglo-German relations.
