Answer 1

Id probably need the full chart to make a clearer descision but i think its pointing towards the great powers eager to spend their military

Step-by-step explanation:

Tensions have been rising for awhile, and the great powers all had borderline unnecessarily large militaries. They were all stacking up to use it on each other, which only made tensions grow. There was also the german/british naval arms race going where germany wanted to grow a strong navy to become a colonizing power but britain made sure that their navy was twice as big as theirs.
