1 août 1904 - Scare

Description:

Dec 15 German naval and military attachés in London are convinced Britain is going to attack Germany's navy. The German Kaiser, Wilhelm II, believes the attachés because of his British family's violations of etiquette. He believes that King Edward VII (who dislikes the Kaiser) wants war. Germany's navy, always mobilized, is waiting for orders to sail. The public is unaware of the war scare.

Dec 24 The Kaiser learns that the British admiralty has not been planning to attack the German fleet. The secret war scare is over.
