No European nation built an "empire" by its proper definition, but Great Britain was the first to exert major power over the continent having the 13 colonies under their control for some time. Spain could also be seen as a major player as well as they owned much of the Midwest territory that was eventually bought by Thomas Jefferson that came to be known as the Louisiana purchase.

I presume your question is in reference to The Great War, which we now call World War I.

The days leading up to the Great War (World War I) were full of military buildup, military planning, and countries lining up with one another in alliance systems.  The Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies.  In between those countries were the members of the Triple Alliance:  Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, with Germany as the leading power in that group.  

Because of the alliance system, Germany assumed that if a war began, it would need to fight on two fronts -- west and east. Germany assumed it would be fighting against both France (on its western border) and Russia (on its eastern border) if war broke out.

German Field Marshall Alfred von Schlieffen drew up war plans that said attack France first, quickly, and then hold that territory while deploying forces to contend with Russia in the east.

In 1914, when Russia mobilized troops to come to the aid of Serbia against Austria-Hungary in 1914 (after the assassination of Austria's archduke by Serbian radicals), Germany declared war on Russia.  And when Germany went to war, the first thing it did was to march through Belgium to go and attack France.  Up to that point France had not had involvement in the conflicts that had begun in the Balkans.  Thus the war spread and quickly became a more global conflict.

Which statement below most accurately describes the moral arguments for and against slavery
Margarita [4]

The correct answer is A. Supported of slavery insisted It was moral because it was practiced in biblical times, while  abolitionists argued that it was immoral because God created all people in His Image.

Explanation:

Slavery was a common practice during the 1800s in the Southern states that depended on it due to its economic model based on agriculture; at the same time, this practice was strongly opposed by the northern states that had an industrialized economic model. These opposite points of view about slavery were supported through different arguments including moral arguments that focused on whether slavery was ethical or "correct".

About this, people in the south and general supporters of slavery promoted the idea slavery was moral because it was a common practice during the history and was even part of the bible, which they consider as the law of God. On the opposite, abolitionists stated God had created all people as equal because everyone including slaves were made in His Image.
