Militarism Alliances Nationalism Imperialism Assassination M.A.N.I.A. Militarism Alliances Nationalism Imperialism Assassination

M.A.N.I.A. M is for MILITARISM

Militarism and Arms Race The Arms Race was as much about nations’ INSECURITY as about their NATIONALISM and EXPANSIONISM.

Attitude Towards War But note that militarism is also a government's attitude of mind, seeing war as a valid means of foreign policy.   (GERMANY was especially militaristic.)

Germany – Land Army GERMANY, worried because it was in-between France and Russia, built up the largest land army. The German army was accepted as being the biggest and the best in the world.

Russia – Land Army But other countries built up their land armies too – in 1914, the fastest growing army was that of RUSSIA. This worried GERMANY a lot.

Conscription As well as their STANDING ARMIES, the nations introduced CONSCRIPTION, so they also had large numbers of trained RESERVES. All the nations except Britain had HUGE armies.

Imperialism and Empires This British postcard interprets Kaiser Wilhelm’s statement about wanting ‘a place in the sun’ – it shows him making everybody in the world bow down to him. IMPERIALISM led to an arms race … in 1900, Kaiser Wilhelm said that GERMANY wanted ‘a place in the sun’ – i.e., that Germany wanted an empire as big as Britain’s. This TERRIFIED the British.

Navies If GERMANY was to have an empire, it needed a navy, so in 1900 Admiral Tirpitz introduced the German Navy Law, which was a huge program of building warships.

Dreadnoughts Both BRITAIN and GERMANY started building Dreadnoughts – the most advanced class of warship in the world.

Effects of Militarism and the Arms Race The arms race was tied in to both NATIONALISM and IMPERIALISM. It increased SUSPICION and HATRED of other nations - and it gave the nations the RESOURCES to wage war.
