State of German dreadnoughts in 1911
A drawing in The Sphere, showing the exact status of the fleet of dreadnought battleships belonging to Germany in 1911. The picture shows 8 in commission, 1 on trials, 3 completed and 4 on slips, a total of 16 compared to Britains 25 at the time. There was a huge growth in the building of dreadnoughts (all-big-gun battleships) since the first built by Britain in 1905 - the trigger for a naval arms race among the major powers in the years leading up to World War I. Date: 1911

EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing from The Sphere, published in 1911, offers a glimpse into the state of Germany's formidable dreadnought fleet at the height of the naval arms race leading up to World War I. With a total of 16 dreadnought battleships, eight in commission, one on trials, three completed, and four still under construction, the German Navy was rapidly expanding its fleet to challenge Britain's dominance on the seas. The advent of the dreadnought, the first all-big-gun battleship, marked a significant turning point in naval warfare. Britain had led the way with the launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906, sparking a frenzy of shipbuilding among the major maritime powers. Germany, aiming to close the gap, accelerated its own construction program to keep pace. The drawing illustrates the impressive scale of the German Navy's efforts, as the country raced to build a modern, powerful fleet. Despite the impressive progress, Germany still trailed behind Britain, which boasted an impressive 25 dreadnoughts at the time. The naval arms race, fueled by the fear of falling behind in military capabilities, would continue to escalate in the years leading up to the war, ultimately contributing to the tensions that ignited the conflict in 1914. This image serves as a testament to the intense competition and innovation in naval warfare during this era, as the major powers vied for dominance on the world's oceans.
