		Britain, Germany, and the United States were the principal participants in the Dreadnought race, with Japan close behind.

		But Germany failed to achieve its war aims in the process, in part because Germany was too busy dealing with internal problems at the end of the war to deal with Belgium decisively, and in part because Bissing did not make a strenuous effort to realize them.
		Later in the war, the German situation was dire indeed, and new pressures from the military gave industrialists and Pan-German politicians a staunch ally in their fight for further exploitative policies.
