The United States was initially sympathetic to Cuba's independence because C. it wanted to drive out European countries from the hemisphere.
Before the Spanish-American War, Cuba had been fighting for three years to become independent from Spain, and this increased America's interest in the territory, which was really close to United States and suffered from politic and economical instability.
The American public created sympathy for the Cuban revolutionaries because there was a general indignation regarding brutal Spanish tactics. Also, the U.S. had always wanted to rule the Western Hemisphere. In 1823, U.S. President James Monroe, addressing the Congress and the nation, declared that the country would withstand any European colony's intention of extending to the Western Hemisphere.
Because the Egyptians were relatively isolated (no enemies to wage war with) and because the Nile was easily predictable (easy to grow food), the ancient Egyptians thrived.
Regardless, religion was always the primary trigger for a crusade. Though religion always played a part, the perceived threat to the church evolved. The first Crusade focused solely on ridding the Holy Land of Muslim forces. The popes began to use crusades to combat any perceived threat against the Catholic Church.
Nationalism had Europeans each viewing their own nations as better than the others, in competition with the others. This would lead to an increase in tension between the nations.
Imperialism carried that nationalistic rivalry to other parts of the globe. Nations sought to grab control over parts of Asia and Africa. When war erupted, that also made it a world war, because people from imperial territories would be brought into the war.
Militarism included a massive arms race -- expanding armies and navies. The construction of so much more military hardware made the coming of war more likely.
Alliances were being arranged, often through secret negotiations, with terms of the alliances known only to those who were involved in the negotiations. Sometimes the fact that alliances were being made was announced publicly. This business of conspiring in regard to alliances caused escalating nervousness and tension in Europe. This was a fundamental problem that lay behind the ultimate outbreak of the Great War (as World War I was called at the time it occurred).
