Prior to the beginning of world war i, european militarism became the policy of several nations. in 125 words or more, consider how militarism affects the art of diplomacy in solving disputes.

Militarism affects the way in which countries make compromises.

Explanation:

The European militarism exploded when the arch-duke of Prusia Francis Ferdinand was murdered, this was the spark that made the tensions between a great part of the European Nations to explode, militarism is the support of a strong military to defend national interests, so when diplomacy fails there is military to defend you from another nation, or to make another nation do what you want, the problem with militarism is that diplomacy eventually gets relegated by the law of the strongest, so whoever has the strongest army is the one who dictates what is done. Eventually diplomacy is non existant and disputes are solved fighting.
