Abstract

Given that the Anglo-German naval rivalry was one of the most important causes of antagonism between Germany and Great Britain prior to World War One, it is highly plausible that a mutual agreement to end the naval race may have brought about a rapprochement which in turn might have prevented World War One from ever occurring. Unfortunately, all efforts toward a negotiated settlement of this rivalry between the years 1908 and 1912 failed; and their failure left Anglo-German relations as uneasy as ever. For many years historians have been too quick to blame Germany exclusively for the failure of the 1908-1912 naval negotiations. This paper will attempt to correct that misconception by providing the evidence which proves that Great Britain must share at least part of the responsibility for their failure.
