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.

Kaiser Wilhelm II played a significant role in the development of the German navy and the arms race before World War I. He pushed for the expansion of the German navy to challenge British naval supremacy, leading to increased tensions between the two countries. This naval arms race was a key factor in the buildup to World War I.
An anchor of arms, often referred to as an "anchor," is a symbol used in heraldry to represent hope, steadfastness, and stability. It is typically depicted as a traditional maritime anchor and can signify a connection to the sea or naval service. In various coats of arms and crests, the anchor can also illustrate the virtues of strength and resilience.

The Naval Arms Conference of 1921, also known as the Washington Naval Conference, was attended by the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, and Italy. These countries convened to address naval disarmament and prevent an arms race following World War I. The conference resulted in several treaties that aimed to limit naval construction and establish ratios for battleship tonnage among the participating nations.
