Activities undertaken by the Department of Defense to encourage and enable international partners to work with the United States to achieve strategic objectives. It includes all DoD interactions with foreign defense and security establishments, including all DoD-administered security assistance programs, that: build defense and security relationships that promote specific U.S. security interests, including all international armaments cooperation activities and security assistance activities; develop allied and friendly military capabilities for self-defense and multinational operations; and provide U.S. forces with peacetime and contingency access to host nations.
Armaments are basically weapons of war. The term can include military structures and defensive systems. In modern parlance, the analogous term "arms" usually means portable weapons but can also mean armaments in general.
Germany and Britain were the two countries that spent more on Armaments in 1914.

Wilson's first five points, outlined in his Fourteen Points speech in 1918, primarily addressed the principles of open diplomacy, freedom of the seas, and the removal of economic barriers. They emphasized the need for national self-determination and the reduction of armaments, aimed at fostering lasting peace and preventing future conflicts. These points sought to create a framework for international cooperation and stability following World War I.
The Harding administration took several measures to promote world peace, including hosting the Washington Naval Conference in 1921-1922, which aimed to limit naval armaments among major powers. They also signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact in 1928, which condemned war as a means of resolving disputes. Additionally, Harding supported international disarmament efforts and encouraged cooperation among nations through diplomatic channels. Lastly, his administration promoted economic stability and cooperation, particularly in the context of post-World War I recovery.
In 1943 the Allies spent $62.5 billion on war armaments. In contrast to this was the Axis Powers that spent $18.3 billion.
