When you see the country next to yours gearing up for war, you are justifiably suspicious, even more so when you are both known to dislike each other and have a history of war between yourselves.
Thus, you also begin to develop your military strength. The other country sees this as a threat (when their military increase was "just a defensive measure or a deterrent"). Additionally, the countries around you both see the militaries getting bigger, and they get worried too. So they start to build their own military too.
Eventually, everybody is so paranoid that someone else will start a war on them soon that they must use a pre-emptive action, in order to prevent war breaking out. Diplomacy breaks down as each feels there is no way it can be used to avoid a fight, and so everybody becomes so much more suspicious of everyone else.
These effects build on each other, until you have everybody lining up the ranks ready to march and expenditure on strength-of-arms worth more than everything else put together.
