What role did imperialism play in the start of world war 1?

History

Anastasy [175]3 years ago

"Imperialist" refers to the will to rule over a  vast territory ( the empire).

The problem with territory is that it is limited. So if multiple entities want to rule over vast territories, they will end up competing with each other over any new territories that still aren't dominated by others. Even if those new territories won't be (immediately) incorporated into the empires, each of the empire would want to exercise power or influence over them.

This leads to conflicts, and rivalry,  and was a reason for the tension between the European powers at the onset of WW1. WW1 was in a way a possibility for each of the powers to gain advantage by showing that they're stronger to the others. They believed that the winning power could then claim power and influence over new lands.

Study the map below. Which two places are connected by both a land route and a sea route?
Alona [7]

The correct answer is A) Memphis and Adulis.

The two places that are connected by both a land route and a sea route were Memphis and Adulis.

We are talking about two important cities during ancient Egypt times. The map shows many important ancient Egyptian cities that represented the expanded territories and dominion of Egyptian Pharaohs. Memphis was the capital of lower Egypt. It was located north of what today is Cairo, the modern capital of Egypt. It was an important city located next to the Delta of the Nile River and was an important place for trade. Adulis was located in the Gulf of Zula, in the Red Sea. It was also a place for trade that was connected to Memphis by land and sea.
