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.
Q. Which rival countries were central to the conflict that led to World War I?
Britain, France, and Russia formed the Triple Entente, while Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy joined in the Triple Alliance. These alliances weren’t the sole cause of World War I, as some historians have contended, but they did play an important role in hastening Europe’s rush to conflict.

Q. How did European imperialism contribute to the start of World War I quizlet?
How did European imperialism contribute to the start of World War I? Competition for colonies led to conflict among European rivalries. Who ordered mobilization of troops, knowing that it would be considered an act of war? Czar Nicholas II of Russia ordered the mobilization of the troops.
Q. How did World War 1 escalate?
The immediate cause of this escalation was the fact that there were webs of alliances between various countries. These alliances caused countries (some of which had worldwide empires) to jump into the war even though it did not directly affect them. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia.
Q. Did Britain want enter ww1?
Britain joined the Triple Entente. Despite being part of the Triple Entente, Britain was not committed to going to war in 1914. In the end, Britain refused to ignore the events of 4 August 1914, when Germany attacked France through Belgium. Within hours, Britain declared war on Germany.
Q. What would happen if Germany didn’t invade the USSR?
So what would have happened if Hitler had not invaded Russia? A more likely possibility is that Hitler could have chosen to move south instead of east. With most of Western Europe under his control after the summer of 1940, and Eastern Europe either subdued or allied with Germany, Hitler had a choice by mid-1941.
Q. What would happen if Germany didn’t attack Stalingrad?
No, not really. Stalingrad only became a cause celebre in 1942. Although it resulted in a German defeat, it was basically sympomatic of the entire German war effort. If the Germans hadn’t lost the sixth Army there, they would have lost somewhere else.
Q. Could Germany have won Kursk?
When studying the battle for Kursk, one of the climactic engagements in the German-Soviet war (1941–1945), many authors have maintained that the Germans would have won the battle had they not delayed their attack from May until early July 1943.
