The major causes of World War 1 were aggressive nationalism, economic competition, imperialism. militarism, and an arms race. Economic competition is a major cause of World War 1 because Germany was growing in its economy. Germany felt that they were not getting enough respect and that they needed to pay attention to Russia and the threats they would pose to Germany. Another important cause of World War 1 is imperialism because European nations became divided which started conflicts. Ties with Germany, France, and Britain were strengthened, and Germany had gained more territory. Militarism became another factor in starting World War 1 because as policies and international problems rising, the nations of Europe began to build up their armies. Britain and Germany were rivals in their navy. Britain had the best navy and Germany was beginning to build up its own navy. Militarism also went hand-in-hand with the arms race. Civilian governments turned to military leaders for advice and the forces of Europe grew. Because of this, tensions continued to arise. Nationalism was also a main cause for World War 1 and caused the most tension in Europe. Nationalism was strong in Germany and France, and Russia had a moral that stated that all Slavic people should be protected because they share a common nationality with Russia. There were also countries that were threatened by nationalism, like Austria-Hungary, and Ottoman-Turkey. These countries were scared of territory being taken away.

Which of the following was an economic motive for imperialism?
Finger [1]

American imperialism” is a term that refers to the economic, military, and cultural influence of the United States on other countries. First popularized during the presidency of James K. Polk, the concept of an “American Empire” was made a reality throughout the latter half of the 1800s. During this time, industrialization caused American businessmen to seek new international markets in which to sell their goods. In addition, the increasing influence of social Darwinism led to the belief that the United States was inherently responsible for bringing concepts such as industry, democracy, and Christianity to less developed “savage” societies. The combination of these attitudes and other factors led the United States toward imperialism.

“Ten Thousand Miles from Tip to Tip”: “Ten Thousand Miles from Tip to Tip,” refers to the extension of U.S. domination (symbolized by a bald eagle) from Puerto Rico to the Philippines. The cartoon contrasts the 1898 representation with that of the United States in 1798.

American imperialism is partly rooted in American exceptionalism, the idea that the United States is different from other countries due to its specific world mission to spread liberty and democracy. This theory often is traced back to the words of 1800s French observer Alexis de Tocqueville, who concluded that the United States was a unique nation, “proceeding along a path to which no limit can be perceived.”

Pinpointing the actual beginning of American imperialism is difficult. Some historians suggest that it began with the writing of the Constitution; historian Donald W. Meinig argues that the imperial behavior of the United States dates back to at least the Louisiana Purchase. He describes this event as an, “aggressive encroachment of one people upon the territory of another, resulting in the subjugation of that people to alien rule.” Here, he is referring to the U.S. policies toward Native Americans, which he said were, “designed to remold them into a people more Appropriately
