Undoubtedly, there needs to be a certain degree of arms proliferation in all countries in order to secure their borders from external or internal threats. However, when the military budget of countries like the USA, the world´s largest power, is far greater than the budget destined to meet other needs of the State, these latter ones are unavoidably neglected, to the detriment of the country´s people. On the other hand, if a greater budget is destined to the building of infrastructure, history shows —like in Japan and Germany— that the economy becomes less dependent on warfare and relies more on human capital and culture.

The question then becomes whether economic gain through arms proliferation is more advantageous to the welfare of the people or if the wellbeing of the people —through the building of infrastructure— is more beneficial to any given government. Since the wellbeing of the people is, in principle —based on the International Bill of Human Rights—, the aim of all countries, these should be more preoccupied with the building of infrastructure.

Answer:

Kaiser Wilhelm's aggressive military build-up and his disregard for attempts at peace, is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The triple alliance was formed by Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy in 1882, and agreed to assist each other in case of attack by either France of Russia. <em><u>Britain and France were afraid of German Navy, so in 1904 </u></em>they signed Entente Cordiale to cooperate against the threat of Germany. Russia also joined later. Triple Entente merely stated that it was a moral obligation of the three signatories to help each other.
