How did imperialism nationalism and militarism contribute to ww1?
Nationalism clearly caused Americans to object to having their ships torpedoed and to foreign powers (Germany) going around making offers of US territory to Mexico.
The others didn't really figure much. Americans weren't paricularly militaristic, they's had an imperialist binge in 1898 but it had pretty much blown over by 1917, and the US had no alliances with Britain or anyone else. As for ancestry, it was the Irish and German Americans who were most influenced by this, and with them its influence was against entering the war.
However, to answer the broader question "how did those things cause world war 1?" European imperialism lead to the competition between Britain and the Germans and set the stage for an all out conflict.
Alliances were a more direct cause, because when an ally of Germany attacked an ally of another power, they were driven to confront each other. Britain (like the US) had no alliances at this time, but could not ignore a European conflict which might lead to one power dominating the continent - an intolerable situation
The afore mentioned competition between those two European powers also caused a build up of military forces (especially naval) which intesified the tensions between the two contries, and was a major factor in fueling the war.

How did the British Empire take over Egypt?
It declined their economy, their government was messed up, and they would cause some emotion to families that did not have enough to support their families.
This is not fair to the Egyptians stop Egyptian imperialism.

How did England finance its early exploration or colonization of America?
They financed their colonies much like the other conolizing counties did: by exporting the countries' produce and products and selling them at a profit on the (then mainly local or European) market.
Until the 19th century countries like England did moreover not spend much money on governing their colonies: local rulers (if present) usually were left to keep on ruling the country at their own expense, and 'white' settlements were supposed to be self-supporting.
Why have some Caribbean countries chosen to remain British Colonies?
Most of these Caribbean islands are not financially wealthy enough to provide for themselves in an economically effective way. As a result, they would rather have the British government provide a stable economy, good jobs, good sanitation, and other things rather than tough it out on their own like many other Caribbean countries do.

How did British imperialism affect India's government today?
British imperialism affected India's post-imperial government in a variety of significant ways, and many of those influences remain today. As just one example, British control of India was relinquished in such manner as to maintain generally positive relations between the two nations. This positive relation, though strained at times, has been central in the continued presence of India as one of the many 'Commonwealth' nations connected economically (and otherwise) to the United Kingdom to this day.
