Question

The chart shows data on the construction of dreadnoughts, or armed battleships, by 1914.

Answer 1

Answer: A) engaged in an arms race.

An arms race occurs when two countries are competing in order to have more armed power than the other one. In this table, we can see that Britain and Germany were competing on the construction of dreadnoughts, or armed battleships. We know this because before 1910, both countries were at the same level, and in the following years, they both increased their production substantially.

Answer 2

A.) engaged in an arms race.
