European nations competed for colonies and resources primarily due to the desire for economic expansion, power, and prestige. Colonies provided access to valuable raw materials and new markets for manufactured goods, fueling industrial growth. Additionally, competition was driven by national pride and the belief in national superiority, often justified by ideologies like imperialism and manifest destiny. This rivalry intensified during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, leading to conflicts and reshaping global politics.
Westward expansion refers to the 19th-century movement of settlers into the American West, driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny—the idea that Americans were destined to expand across the continent. This period saw the acquisition of vast territories through treaties, purchases, and conflicts, including the Louisiana Purchase and the Mexican-American War. The expansion significantly impacted Indigenous populations, leading to displacement and cultural changes. It also contributed to economic growth and the development of new states, but it intensified debates over slavery and contributed to regional tensions leading up to the Civil War.

The introduction of the railroad significantly intensified the westward movement of settlers in the United States. Railroads made travel faster, safer, and more efficient, allowing people to transport goods and themselves across vast distances. This infrastructure not only facilitated migration but also encouraged economic development in the West, as it connected remote areas to markets and resources. The expansion of the railroad network played a crucial role in shaping the settlement patterns and economic landscape of the American frontier.
The separatist movements in Eastern Europe during the 1900s were primarily driven by the rise of nationalism, ethnic tensions, and the decline of empires such as the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires. As various ethnic groups sought self-determination and autonomy, their aspirations were fueled by the political changes following World War I, including the principle of national self-determination advocated by leaders like U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. Additionally, social and economic unrest, coupled with the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, further intensified calls for independence among various nationalities in the region.
