2.Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859–1941) was determined to build up Germany’s navy because a large and powerful navy was essential to expansion. In the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, Germany’s government espoused expansionist aims and pursued expansionist policies. In sum, these policies were known as Weltpolitik, meaning "world politics." As the name hints, the general idea was to make Germany a world power by expanding outward and building an empire. Geopolitics dictated that this had to be an overseas empire, so a masterful navy was essential to traversing the seas and securing control of other regions via the seas. One of the key figures in expanding the German navy was Admiral von Tirpitz, who did so with the support and encouragement of the Kaiser and most of the Reichstag.
3.While there are many reasons why Britain became the first industrialized nation in the world, the main geographical reason concerns the location and accessibility of Britains coal deposits. Britain's coal deposits were easily accessed, and navigable waterways ensured that coal was easily transported to urban centers. The main social reasons stem from the fact that Britain had a large population that could work in the factories and a stable government.

West Africa was one of the world's greatest producers of gold in the Middle Ages. Trade in the metal went back to antiquity but when the camel caravans of the Sahara linked North Africa to the savannah interior, the trade really took off. A succession of great African empires rose off the back of the gold trade as salt, ivory, and slaves were just some of the commodities exchanged for the precious metal that eventually found its way into most of southern Europe's gold coinage. Gold attracted unwanted attention and competition, too, with the Portuguese the first to exploit West Africa's coastal resources from the 15th century CE, and in their wake followed others. The discovery of the Americas and the gold of the Aztecs and Incas only gave West Africa a temporary respite as European colonial powers then returned to the continent as their chief source of slaves to work on the plantations of the New World. The trade of gold in West Africa goes back to antiquity with one of the earliest examples being the voyage of the Carthaginian explorer Hanno in the 5th century BCE. The celebrated mariner sailed out of the Mediterranean and, turning south, stopped off at the mouth of the Senegal River before sailing on and perhaps even reaching as far the Bay of Guinea. Hanno was followed by other countrymen, and commercial relations were established with the locals. Thus, West African gold found its way from the trading post/island of Cerne (unidentified but on the Atlantic coast) northwards to the ancient Mediterranean cultures for the first time.
The 5th-century BCE Greek historian Herodotus describes in his Histories that gold was traded on the West African coast using a silent and cautious method of barter - perhaps understandable given the language barrier and mutual fear between unfamiliar peoples. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!
