The purpose of the arms race was to build up military capabilities and stockpile weapons in order to deter potential adversaries, demonstrate military strength, and gain a strategic advantage in potential conflicts. It was driven by the desire to maintain geopolitical influence and ensure national security during periods of heightened tensions, such as the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
