German interest in the Caribbean involved a series of unsuccessful proposals made by the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) during the late-nineteenth century to establish a coaling station somewhere in the Caribbean. The German Empire (founded in 1871) was rapidly building a world-class navy, but coal-burning warships needed frequent refueling and could only operate within range of a coaling station. Preliminary plans were vetoed by Otto von Bismarck (Chancellor from 1871 to 1890).

  • German interest in the Caribbean involved a series of unsuccessful proposals made by the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) during the late-nineteenth century to establish a coaling station somewhere in the Caribbean. The German Empire (founded in 1871) was rapidly building a world-class navy, but coal-burning warships needed frequent refueling and could only operate within range of a coaling station. Preliminary plans were vetoed by Otto von Bismarck (Chancellor from 1871 to 1890). In 1892 Germany sailed to the Caribbean and colonized the island's. The countries of northern South America – Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela – were viewed by German planners as a buffer to protect German interest in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay from the growing influence of the United States. By 1900 American "naval planners were obsessed with German designs in the hemisphere and countered with energetic efforts to secure naval sites in the Caribbean." German naval planners in the 1890-1910 era denounced the Monroe Doctrine as a self-aggrandizing legal pretension to dominate the hemisphere. They were even more concerned with the possible American canal in Panama, because it would lead to full American hegemony in the Caribbean. The stakes were laid out in the German war-aims proposed by the Imperial Navy in 1903: a "firm position in the West Indies", a "free hand in South America", and an official "revocation of the Monroe Doctrine" would provide a solid foundation for "our trade to the West Indies, Central and South America."

  • El Caribe alemán (en alemán, Deutsche Karibik) fue un fallido proyecto imperial llevado a cabo por la Reichsmarine (Marina Imperial alemana) a finales del siglo XIX para establecer una base militar y comercial en las Indias Occidentales.​​ El proyecto fue diseñado para permitir el acceso de Alemania a los crecientes mercados de América mientras que proporcionaba una base de poder para aumentar la influencia alemana en el Caribe.​ Alemania estaba construyendo rápidamente una marina de clase mundial, pero los buques de guerra que queman carbón necesitaban reabastecimiento de combustible frecuente y solo podían operar dentro del alcance de una estación carbonífera. Los planes preliminares fueron vetados por el canciller Otto von Bismarck. Para 1900, los "planificadores navales estadounidenses estaban obsesionados con los diseños alemanes en el hemisferio y contrarrestados con esfuerzos enérgicos para asegurar sitios navales en el Caribe".​ Los planificadores navales alemanes en el periodo 1890-1910 denunciaron la Doctrina Monroe como una ley legal autoengrandizante con la pretensión de dominar el hemisferio. Estaban aún más preocupados por el posible canal estadounidense en Panamá, porque llevaría a la hegemonía estadounidense en el Caribe. Las apuestas se establecieron en los objetivos propuestos por la Marina de guerra alemana en 1903: una "posición firme en las Indias Occidentales", una "mano libre en América del Sur" y una "revocación oficial de la Doctrina Monroe" proporcionaría una sólida fundación para "nuestro comercio con las Indias Occidentales, América Central y del Sur".​ (es)
