Abstract

This article analyzes the escalation of German–British relations in 1895–1896, focusing on the Transvaal question as a central issue. It draws on diplomatic documents by von Marschall and correspondence involving Kaiser Wilhelm II to examine the political and economic interests of both powers. Germany emphasized maintaining the status quo and protecting its economic interests, while Britain viewed German actions as a strategic threat.
