Also, I remember there being a relatively old quote, though I don't remember the exact words, it was something like "Neccesity breeds invention". If you don't need weapons of war, you don't make weapons of war. Tanks were built in World War 1 and 2 - if the nations weren't at war, we probably wouldn't need tanks, and therefore not need to make them.
