Question

How can an argument be made that an arms build-up (militarism)might lead to peace? Explain PLZZZ

Answer 1

If everyone had equal power, it would make it hard to take another country down. Therefore, they would not be able to attack each other, since it was pointless.

Answer 2

An Arms-Build up would lead to peace due quite frankly, to fear. It would lead to peace, just like for example, North Korea. No one is allowed to have weaponry, meaning fear. No one attempts to revolt, due to fear. Having a militia, would enforce fear, causing no revolts, or riots, or anything of the sort.
