Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's voter registration drive affected the passage of civil rights legislation by putting a face to American citizens who had not voted previously. Scare tactics by the Klan were no longer enough to discount the millions of black citizens who were denied their right to vote.
1) Alliances: When two countries made an alliance to keep each other protected from a country, the country decided to do the same thing and eventually either one of them declared war.
2) Imperialism: When a larger country took over a smaller country, sometimes the smaller one would try fighting back. Sometimes countries would fight over a country they both want to take over.
3) Nationalism: The head of the country would love his country and hate to see it fall, so when things get rough (Say poverty or lack of food/materials) A lot of times they would go scavenging through someone else's territory (usually smaller) to get the materials they needed so their country could thrive. This could also help to start a war.
4) Militarism: A lot of countries had this type of government and a lot of times it soon became a competition between land and seas, which also lead to fights and later on, war.
