The issue of slavery was a major underlying issue to the formation of the Republican party.
On May 20th, 1854, a group of politically- minded former Whigs met in Ripon , Wisconsin to talk about the possibility of forming a new political party that would focus on preventing the spread of slavery in the Western territories. The idea took off and on June 6th 1854, over 10,000 people gathered in Jackson, Michigan to establish the new party and thus the Republican party was born.
The correct answer is B) by establishing overseas colonies.
European nations competed for power in the years before World War I by establishing overseas colonies.
Between 1881 and 1914, European powers competed for each other to establish more colonies in Africa and other parts of the world. In the case of the African continent, the dispute was so high that the term of "Scramble for Africa" was coined. European countries such as Great Britain, France, and Portugal occupied, colonize or split the African territories to get more power and dominion.
World War 1 started in August 1914.
