Tirpitz's naval laws

Tirpitz's naval laws, formulated by German Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, emphasized building a powerful navy to deter potential enemies and protect national interests. The core idea was to expand and modernize the fleet to ensure naval superiority, discouraging other nations from attacking. Tirpitz believed that a strong navy would serve as a peace deterrent and safeguard Germany's place in global politics. These principles guided Germany's naval policy leading up to World War I, focusing on rapid naval expansion, technological innovation, and strategic readiness to establish a formidable maritime presence without necessarily provoking conflict.
