Answer the following question:
Why did European countries increase weapons and ammunities?

Answer 1

1. The belief that only militarily powerful nations could retain their supremacy in European politics led to the rose of militarism.
2. The European nations started increasing their military strength to outwit (take the better off) each other in the race of expansion.
3. A large number of new destructive weapons, warships, tanks came to be manufactured.
4. Every European nation argued that this vast arms accumulation was only for safety and not for war.
