No one doubted the power of the British empire in the 19th century. And it was well known that the size of British armies required to properly control the empire required much fewer military forces than what might be normally expected. At the time of Bismarck, the continental armies of the European powers were huge. Reportedly when Bismarck was asked what he would do if the British army landed on Germany's coast he replied that he would have them arrested.
While the British Navy was incredibly powerful and large, Bismarck's land-forces were far larger. As a result, Bismarck joked, saying, "If the British Army landed in Europe, I'd get the Belgian police to arrest them."
The German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck created a fixed military alliance during peace time was a new concept for 19th century Europe. Bismarck is given credit for establishing an Austro-German alliance. He also induced Russia to return to the Three Emperor's League, which for a time they did. Bismarck also created a defense alliance with Rome. This was a protection against a French attack. Bismarck was also the force behind the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy.
