Pay attention; WWI. 25 independent states with various degrees of 
interaction did not represent a threat to Britain When they were unified 
into the German Reich in 1871 they became a threat. It didn't help that 
France's attempt to remain the big dog in Europe by declaring war on 
Prussia failed miserably. Maintaining the balance of power on the 
Continent was Britain's favorite hobby and the boat was starting to rock 
badly.
