One of the causes of World War I involved the practice of militarism by most European nations. In a paragraph , explain how, if
countries were more interested in building up their military might rather than using diplomacy to solve problems, this would affect their relationship with one another. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
Militarism is a philosophy or system that emphasises 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 a significant force in Europe prior to World War I. Several European governments were strongly influenced, if not dominated by military leaders, their interests and priorities. Generals and admirals in these nations acted as de facto government ministers, advising political leaders, influencing domestic policy and demanding increases in defence and arms spending. This militarism fuelled an arms race which gave rise to new military technologies and increased defence spending. Militarism affected more than policy: it also shaped culture, the press and public opinion. Newspapers held up military leaders as heroes, painted rival nations as dangerous aggressors and regularly engaged in ‘war talk’. Militarism alone did not start World War I but it created an environment where war, rather than negotiation or diplomacy, was seen as the best way of resolving international disputes.

Japanese Chemist and Professor, Kikunae Ikeda is credited for uncovering the
chemical basis for the Umami taste. He accidently discovered this new taste by
realizing his dashi broth was more delicious because of the addition of kombu
or kelp. More than a hundred years from then, humans have developed a liking to
Umami, probably because it our brain associates it with the presence of
protein.</span>
