Four years before the outbreak of the First World War, Alfred
Thayer Mahan, the world famous naval historian and strategist,
warned of the approaching conflict in The Interest of America in
International Conditions. Mahan's geo-historical approach compared
Imperial Germany's early twentieth-century quest for hegemony to
previous attempts by Napoleon's France, Louis XIV's France, and the
Austrian and Spanish Hapsburgs to upset the European balance of
power. Each previous bid for hegemony brought forth a coalition of
powers that restored the balance of power. Mahan foresaw in the
early twentieth century that a new coalition of powers, including
Britain, France, Russia, and the United States, would be needed to
prevent German domination of the continent.
