How did imperialism help the cause of World War 1?

Answer 1

Imperialism is the forceful extending of power over new land or country by gaining territory or by establishing dominance over a country's political and economical arena. By 1900, Britain had gained many territories that expanded across the five continents. France also had a large control over many areas in Africa. Germany was late into this imperialism game and only acquired a small amount of areas in Africa. This scramble for land resulted from the Industrial Revolution where everyone is looking for foreign markets. With Britain's and France's increase in terriories, the rivalry with Germany also increased.
