In the 19th century, the great powers of Europe were embroiled in various rivalries driven by nationalism, imperial ambitions, and strategic interests. The rivalry between Britain and France was particularly pronounced during the Napoleonic Wars and later in colonial competition. Additionally, tensions existed between Austria and Prussia over German unification, while Russia sought to expand its influence in the Balkans, often clashing with Austria and the Ottoman Empire. These rivalries contributed to a complex web of alliances and conflicts that ultimately set the stage for World War I.
