ABSTRACT

Thus the great struggle for supremacy between Great Britain and Germany ended in the triumph of the former over her aggressive rival. But her victory only came when she had been brought to the brink of annihilation by the futile and treacherous policy of her so-called statesmen, and the selfishness and shirking of duty on the part of her citizens. Her final triumph was brought about, not by the genius of her politicians and statesmen, but by the timely and skilful aid of Japan.
