peaked
I'm surprised to read that British power peaked in 1914. I thought it was earlier than that. Why did Britain have so much trouble in WWI if it was still so powerful? Perhaps its land holdings peaked in 1914, but not its might.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:46, 18 October 2008 (EDT)

::well that's a good question. I think Germany was gaining even faster that Britain--both were growing more powerful but the Germans were catching up. The trouble in WW1 was Germany had a better army--the Brits had always favored their navy and had neglected the army.[[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 22:49, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
