Kiel Canal and Kaiser's Drive for a Place in the Sun
The article reviews the Kiel Canal's construction from 1887 to 1895 and its later expansion, linking it to Kaiser Wilhelm II's vision of German naval power and a global sea presence. It contrasts the canal’s strategic value with the emperor’s showy ceremony and cites naval movements, plans for future battles, and debates on destroying or defending the waterway.
