That's easy!Germany!

Samuel Doten said...

Unfortunately Katie, that is wrong...

The correct answer is Great Britain.

Germany specialized in U-Boats, not navy in general.

Great Britain had to specialize in navy as they are and island and would have no other reasonable way of the time to transport their troops (planes weren't safe or large or sturdy enough to hold a large load).

Katie, remember that in the years leading up to World War One, Germany and Great Britain were in a naval building war and Britain came up out on top with a stronger navy.

History Quotes

We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events.
-Gerda Lerner

History, we can confidently assert, is useful in the sense that art and music, poetry and flowers, religion and philosophy are useful. Without it -- as with these -- life would be poorer and meaner; without it we should be denied some of those intellectual and moral experiences which give meaning and richness to life. Surely it is no accident that the study of history has been the solace of many of the noblest minds of every generation.
-Henry Steele Commager

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
-Robert F. Kennedy
