History of Europe

Was Germany jealous of Great Britain before World War 1?

Germany's relations with Great Britain in the decade or so leading up to World War I are generally referred to as an Entente Cordiale - a friendly political understanding that developed around 1904 through secret negotiations.

Before that time and at that time there may have been tensions between people, especially between those more patriotic or jingoistic, but Germany certainly didn't invade. They would later go to war against Britain on August 4 1914.
