The Scramble for Africa, which involved European powers rapidly colonizing and competing for African territories in the late 19th century, heightened national rivalries and tensions among European nations. This competition for resources and strategic advantage fueled militarism and alliances, contributing to a climate of distrust. By establishing colonial empires, countries like Germany, Britain, and France intensified their conflicts over territory, ultimately leading to the complex web of alliances and enmities that played a significant role in the outbreak of World War I in 1914.
