Anytime two or more countries try to out produce each other in a given type of weapon or in overall military capability (e.g. one country may concentrate mostly on building tanks while another may concentrate mostly on building aircraft, while yet another concentrates mostly on building their infantry capabilities - this would be an asymmetric arms race).
if you have two opponents who have arms in a literarally sense for armwrestling like (the nuclear weapons in cold war) is a potential arm race that breaks out if they start making use of their weapons
In today's world, an arms race, means an escalation in the production of weapons and or weapon systems. This is a costly "race", without a doubt. It also implies more research on better (deadlier ) weapons. It gives rise to more profits to defense industry profits.
An arms race is when two countries try to achieve the mightiest military. Examples would be like the USSR versus the US. The US won in the end.
During World War 1, there was an arm race because there was war and that countries had to protect themselves, but in your question, yes there was an arm race between the British and Germany. I hope this has helped. I'm not a historian, you might have to look into that.

a battle between nations for advantage in the construction and growth
The arm's race started because the United States wanted to have a stronger military than the Soviets. They did this because the Soviets made bombs that could destroy a whole city. The United States worried that the Soviets would try to come and destroy their military. So, scientist developed bigger bombs and missiles. The Soviets and United States made bombs and missiles to see who had the better bombs and missiles. That's how the arm's race began. Hint: If you pay attention to the words "arm's race", you can see that it states that they raced using their arm's.
america won of course
In an arms race, the activity of the other side begins determining one's behavior. And the results at the end of the race are from assertion and not analysis. The likelihood of war increases as an arms race picks up pace.
a never-ending effort to acquire more and more weapons
Both sides tried to keep the upper hand in weapon technology, that's why it was called an "arm's race." A Cold War means a Military Stand-off. An arm's race is needed to conduct a stand-off.
The arms race was a part of the Cold War. Both sides struggled to be supreme in terms of weapons and defenses against them. There was also the Space Race that took place during that time frame.
