Cold War Alliances
Imperialism played a significant role in creating the tensions that led to World War I, as the major European powers competed for colonies and resources, which heightened rivalries and fostered distrust. The race for empire not only fueled militarism but also created complex alliances that entangled nations in conflicts over imperial interests. While not the sole cause, imperialism was a critical factor in a broader context of nationalism, militarism, and entangled alliances that made the war appear inevitable once a crisis, such as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, occurred. Thus, while the war was not predetermined, imperialism significantly contributed to the conditions that made it likely.
