The best answer to the question: Nations that became militaristic were attempting to show off their:, would be, A: Industrial status.

Explanation:

This became particularly the case after the two world wars, first in Europe and then including other nations like the U.S and also in Asia, like Japan. But it was never more real than after the Second World War, when the display of industrialization, technological advancement and military power, became the most important issue in balancing out the equation of which nation was more powerful than the others. This became particularly true between the U.S and the Soviet Union, two nations that raced each other for most of the 20th century trying to outdo the other in who had the strongest industrial apparatus, especially when it came to production of military power.
