What effect did alfred thayer mahan have on america?
Mahan influenced the Kaiser & the Tsar of Russia to build up their navies. Britain already thought along Mahan’s lines. The Kaiser slyly eliminated his cousin Nick of Russia, by getting him into a fight with Japan in 1904…which effectively caused the loss of 2 of Russia’s 3 battleship fleets; thus removing him from the (naval arms) Race.
