Detailed explanation-1: -Imperialist nations assert control over other territories through infiltration and annexation, political pressure, military conquest or war. Competition for new territories and possessions as well as imperial rivalry increased tension between major European countries and became a reason in the outbreak of World War I.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nationalism, aligned with imperialism, led Europe to disaster in 1914. Later, the countries colonised by the European powers in the 19th century began to overthrow their imperial rule. Many countries struggled for the formation of nation states, and each country was inspired by a sense of collective national unity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The expansion of European nations as empires (also known as imperialism) can be seen as a key cause of World War I, because as countries like Britain and France expanded their empires, it resulted in increased tensions among European countries.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nationalism was used to justify imperialism by promoting the idea of the superiority of one’s own nation, culture and values and portraying the subjugation and domination of other cultures as necessary for their “civilization” and the expansion of one’s own nation.
