		Tirpitz developed a "risk theory" (an analysis which today would be considered part of game theory) whereby, if the German Navy reached a certain level of strength relative to the British Navy, the British would try to avoid confrontation with Germany (that is, maintain a fleet in being).
		If the two navies fought, the German Navy would inflict enough damage on the British, that the latter ran a risk of losing their naval dominance.
		Because the British relied on their navy to maintain control over the British Empire, Tirpitz felt they would rather maintain naval supremacy in order to safeguard their empire, and let Germany become a world power, than lose the empire as the cost of keeping Germany less powerful.

		The Prussians were shocked and insulted by the French victories, but they also saw them as proof of the superiority of France and her political culture.

		The marks of the saber still remain upon one of the carriage springs; the gallant Prussian then forced open one of the doors of the carriage, but in the interval, Napoleon had escaped by the opposite door; and thus disappointed the triumphant hopes of that gallant officer.

		The government of Napoleon III of France was undoubtedly startled by the Prussian victory over Austria, and urgently sought to reform their army to face the conflict with Prussia which seemed inevitable and imminent.
