In the early 1900s, France and Germany were brought to the brink of war primarily due to imperial competition and nationalistic tensions. The Moroccan Crises of 1905 and 1911 heightened tensions, as Germany sought to challenge French influence in Morocco, leading to diplomatic confrontations. Additionally, the militarization and alliances formed during this period, particularly the Dual Alliance between France and Russia against Germany, increased the likelihood of conflict. These factors contributed to a volatile environment that ultimately set the stage for World War I.
Aggressive nationalism pitted France and Germany against each other, and against the rest of Europe. Because they were too overbearing, they angered other countries, and brought about resentment, which eventually led to war.

Germany's loss in WW1 affected their involvement in WW2 because after WW1 at the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, they were forced to accept full blame for the war, and pay reparations for all the damages done to the allied countries. This left Germany globally humiliated and bankrupt. When the worldwide depression hit, Germany was already exhausted and on the brink of collapse. Adolf Hitler played this to his advantage and promised that he would once again make the German nation powerful. This made it easy for Adolf Hitler to seize complete control of Germany, and he then invaded Poland, essentially starting World War 2.
The country that created a standoff between the US and USSR was Cuba, particularly during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The Soviet Union had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the US mainland, prompting a tense 13-day confrontation. This crisis brought the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear war and highlighted the intense geopolitical rivalry of the Cold War era.
