The rivalry among imperial powers was most aggressive in Germany. Due to its late unification, it had joined the race for colonies late and sought to make up for lost time. The British and French, having come early to the colonial game, resented the upstartâ??s actions. These tensions helped to create additional reasons for World War I involvement.

What was significant about World War 1?

Waged from 1914 to 1918, World War I was significant in many ways, especially by changing the national landscape of Europe and giving the United States an initial opportunity to participate as a major nation among peers. Perhaps most significant, however, was its failure to resolve European rivalries: its conclusion only exacerbated those rivalries; thus, it led directly to World War II.

Why was the middle east the cockpit of European rivalries after world war ll?

Answer 1There is no major view that holds that Middle East was the cockpit of European rivalries after World War II. While there was certainly violence in the Middle East and some of it was an extension of British and French Imperial aims, most of the violence in the Middle East was between endemic Middle Easterners and their countries as opposed to foreign powers. (The Restoration of the Shah of Iran in 1953 and the Suez Crisis of 1956 are some examples of British and French Imperial Aims in the Middle East.) The United States and Soviet Union fought proxy wars through the Middle East conflict, but neither country is considered a typically "European" power. Western European powers after World War II engaged in a huge rapprochement, leading to NATO and the European Union.The Middle East was a cockpit of European rivalries, however, after World War I. The British and French took strategic territories in the Middle East to acquire oil or desirable ports. Each power supported local groups that could further cement its "right to control" the area. However, Africa was always more violent during the colonial period than the Middle East during the Mandatory Period and may have been a better "cockpit of European Rivalries".Answer 2Oil
