Answer:

Militarism denoted a rise in military expenditure, an increase in military and naval forces, more influence of the military men upon the policies of the civilian government, and a preference for force as a solution to problems. Militarism was one of the main causes of the First World War.

Militarism is a philosophy or system that emphasizes the importance of military power. Alfred Vagts, a German historian who served in World War I, defined it as the “domination of the military man over the civilian, an undue preponderance of military demands, an emphasis on military considerations”.

Militarism was one of the main causes of World War I. The five major European economic powers—Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, Russia, and Great Britain—had relied on imperialism to build their wealth.

Militarism was a long-term cause of the war; due to the length of time it takes a country to build its military to the strength necessary to wage a major war. Though these were not the only countries building and perfecting their arsenal, they were the most significant prior to the outbreak of WWI
