Great Britain was not very concerned about military forces. However, since Great Britain is an island country it was known to have the worlds strongest navy.

- 96: Chamberlain and Fabri: Strong Advocates
- ... and Fabri: Strong Advocates A brief but seriously intense period of imperial and colonial expansion took place in many Western nations between 1870 to 1905.1 With the addition of newly formed nations such as Germany, the desire for expansion transformed into a competition, as the opportunity to build or enlarge empires, (especially for those that were newly formed), decreased at a rapid rate. Unclaimed areas were claimed with a sense ... class. In addition to his service as mayor, he became a member of the British Parliament in 1876.2 Friedrich Fabri, author of an extremely popular short story entitled Bedarf Deutschland der Kolonien?, (Translation: Does Germany Need Colonies?), was a long time inspector of the Barmen Rhine Mission in German Southwest Africa.3 It is clear to the reader that both the pamphlet and the speech were designed to influence or ... and richness, and that not taking advantage of the opportunity to colonize Uganda would have been an outlandish mistake.

From this time forward the Germans were never able to raise a large army again to attack the allies. As 1945 approached it seemed, to most, that Germany's surrender was only a matter of time. The Allies, having been on the offensive for so long, had an all time high determination and morale. The idea that Germany could muster the supplies, troops, or will to launch an offensive seemed crazy.

- 98: Imperialism
- ... both Asia and Africa. They tended to claim that their imperialist activities were BENEFICIAL to their subject peoples. How could this be so if the rivalries between imperialist powers generated tension, especially between Britain and Germany, which would eventually contribute to the first world war? My opinion is that Imperialism is a natural phenomenon occuring in social species. I mean, look at ants... they'll take over other nests and steal ... problems in their own lower class of citizens. The right of one nation to take over another for whatever political, economic, social or religious reasons is never justifiable.
