Question

Help due soon! Overall, what is happening in terms of military build-up in the years prior to WWI? How might that lead to the war beginning?

Answer 1

Between 1890 and 1913, the European powers at the time began building up in military power. This included the countries of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary. The reason for the military buildup was primarily nationalism in which each country wanted to be "better" than the others.
