Features: When the historical clock pointed to the late 19th century, the uneven development of capitalist countries became prominent, and the struggle for colonies and spheres of influence intensified sharply. The emerging imperialist powers of Germany, the United States, Japan, and Italy launched fierce challenges against the largest traditional capitalist powers, Britain and France. To ensure they gained the upper hand in the scramble for colonies, all imperialist countries spared no effort in expanding their military forces, with the construction of a strong navy taking a particularly prominent position. This book vividly recreates the century of ups and downs in the world's navies through three time periods: (1990–1918), (1919–1945), and (1945–), hoping readers will enjoy it.
