I believe that this picture best illustrates Militarism, One of the main causes of WWI. The definition of Militarism is - A government or people's desires or belief that their country's military should maintain a strong military capability and should be prepared and always ready to use it aggressively should they have to defend or promote. This photo clearly shows militarism. One way this photo shows militarism is the fact that the magazine cover is showing a soldier that is very well equipped. He has a poison tank which could be useful in a battle. A mask, which can protect him from the poison tank, and contain his identity. He also has a gun. This magazine is showing a model soldier, and what one should look like. This is why I believe this picture represents militarism.
