Prior to World War I, several key rivalries shaped international relations, notably the tensions between the major European powers. The Franco-German rivalry stemmed from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, which left France humiliated and eager for revenge. Additionally, the competition between Britain and Germany over naval supremacy and colonial expansion created further friction. The Austro-Hungarian and Russian rivalry in the Balkans also heightened tensions, as both empires sought to expand their influence in the region, setting the stage for the conflict that would erupt into World War I.
