To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Holt and Chilton, 334: Africa; note the location of the German colonies with reference to the Equator; note also that Walfisch Bay and Zanzi- bar, the commercial outlets of German Southwest Africa and German East Africa respectively, are British possessions. (Germany in 1890 exchanged her claims to Zanzibar for Heligoland, see Holt and Chilton, 174, for location of Heligoland.) V. THE RIVALRY OF ENGLAND AND GERMANY ON THE HIGH SEAS; THE ENTENTES.
1. 1871-1914; no war in Europe (except in the Ba...lkans), but nearly all the great powers armed to the teeth; old hostilities alive underneath the armor: armed peace.
a. Militarism: to maintain huge standing armies, professedly for defense, actually for aggressive purposes. In 1914 Germany had the greatest, best equipped, and most efficient army in Europe; England alone of all the powers had no great military establishment.
b. "Navalism": Germany has charged England with "navalism," excess- ive development of her navy. England tries to maintain a "two-power standard:" a navy equal to any other two.
