The quote below explains how... * "By the 1890s, the great land armies of France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia had no equals on earth except
one another. Nicholas warned that the accelerating arms race,' which was producing larger armies, more powerful
artillery, and bigger warships, was 'transforming the armed peace into a crushing burden that weighs on all nations and,
if prolonged, will lead to the very cataclysm it seeks to avert."
Unfortunately, participation in the international court was voluntary. The next year, in an attempt to compensate for its
small empire, Germany enacted the Second Naval Law, intending to build a navy capable of challenging the British Royal
Navy in combat. The British responded. By 1906, keeping ahead of the Germans in modern battleships was a national
priority. France, meanwhile, strove to match the German standing army of sixty million men, no small feat for a nation of
forty million people."

Militarism contributed to the start of WWI

Explanation:

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
