Germany: Prussian Landowners Politically dominant Promoted militarism and allegiance to the Kaiser Against reforms designed to move towards liberal democracy

Germany: Expansion Population growth & pressure to secure raw materials Congress of Berlin (1884) cooperated in Africa carve up Dilemma: Germany wanted colonies -> World already divided up Cooperate with Britain?

France Democratic republic/civil liberties Agriculture based economy, yet wealthy Large empire; gold reserves; overseas investment

France: Politics 'Pacifist' left-wing 'Revanchist' right-wing Short-lived governments: effected foreign-policy Sought alliance with Russia to contain Germany

Britain Parliamentary – democracy w/monarchy (limited powers) First power to undergo Industrial Revolution Vast overseas empire/largest trader of 19th century

Britain - Economic Decline Losing economic power and trade dominance Overtaken by the US and Germany by 1900 Democracy kept working class discontent at bay

Britain - Foreign Policy 19th century – "splendid isolation" By 1900, needed allies for a long-term survival George Eulas Foster, Canadian politician “In these somewhat troublesome days when the great Mother Empire stands splendidly isolated in Europe.”

Britain - Military Powerful Navy -> used for defense of nation and sea- based trade Resources over stretched Needed to maintain naval dominance to maintain balance of power in Europe
