How was the Arms Race related to imperialism
The Arms Race meant to produce larger armies,better artillery,and armed peace. But during WW1,armed peace became a burden. It relates to imperialism because it deals with a countries power and in this case its army. And the armies of France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia had no equals except one another, that is only who they could trust
Why is imperialism the most important cause of WW1
Imperialism is the most important cause of WW1 because it created a build-up of tension in and outside of Europe. In addition, it occurred at the height of Industrialization in Europe.
