The naval arms race, particularly between Britain and Germany, heightened tensions and rivalries among European powers leading up to World War I. The competition to build superior naval fleets fostered an atmosphere of militarism and distrust, as nations sought to assert their dominance. This race not only escalated arms expenditures but also contributed to the formation of alliances, ultimately creating a volatile environment that made conflict more likely. The resulting naval buildup became a symbol of national pride and power, further entrenching the divisions that would ignite the war.
