The countries have been at war several times, such as within the First World War. Great Britain declared war on Nazi Germany in support of Belgium and France, and on Turkey because of her alliance with Germany. Britain declared war on Germany on August 4th 1914, but rivalry between the two countries had been growing for years. They have also been allied several times, such as in the Crimean War.
