The correct answer is option <u><em>B) religious differences.</em></u><u><em>
</em></u>
Although there were religious differences between the intervening countries, there were both in opposing and allied countries, and the religious aspect did not play an important role as cause of the war.
The powers of the time competed for the control of the colonies of Africa, Asia and America mainly with the desire to get raw materials in the height of the Industrial Revolution.
In order to obtain more and more colonies, deploy overseas trade, and defend themselves against other powers, some European nations had developed an army and very powerful armies.
Nationalisms were booming at that time and many mutual protection agreements had been established between different countries in the face of foreign attacks on one of them.
There were ethnic groups in the Austro-Hungarian Empire that considered themselves as nations, such as the Italians, the Serbs and the Magyars.
The beginning of the war was born from a specific event that unleashed declarations of war between countries that forced to enter their successive military allies.
South Carolina
South Carolina seceded from the Union after the announcement of Lincoln winning the 1860 election.
South Carolina believed Lincoln as president was dire and seceded from the Union first. South Carolina took Fort Sumter being within their border. Lincoln viewed this as a hostile action and would be considered the first battle of the Civil War.
Since the U.S. was fighting against communist nations in WW ll, I'd say answer A.
That was when the U.S. first realized how dangerous communism is, since the whole nation in a sense follows the wants of one man.
Fighting against Hitler, Mussolini, and the other guy (I can't remember who it was) really opened America's eyes to the horrors of communism, which is why they decided to strengthen the Democratic side of America.
I believe answer A. is correct.
