Question

The chart shows data on the construction of dreadnoughts, or armed battleships, by 1914.

A 3-column table with 6 rows titled Dreadnought Construction. The 3 columns are titled, from left to right, Year, Britain, Germany. The entries for Year are: 1910. 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914. The entries for Britain are: 7, 3, 5, 3, 7, 3. The entries for Germany are: 7, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1

A logical conclusion that can be drawn from this chart is that Britain and Germany were

engaged in an arms race.
looking for ways to cooperate.
hoping not to fight on land.
the strongest nations on the earth.

Answer 1

Engaged in an arms race.

Reason: both countries rapidly increased dreadnought construction in the same years, showing competitive naval buildup rather than cooperation or a focus on land warfare.
