If it’s the first world war this was due to the unrestricted submarine ware fair where the Germans sunk any ships or submarines in one of the oceans. Warning Germany not to sink American ships Germany did and America declared war on Germany. If you are talking about world war 2 then that is due to the Japanese booming Pearl Harbor but missing a flight carrier.
During President Dwight Eisenhower's administration, he came up with the Domino Theory which said that if one nation in the Pacific falls to Communism, so will the rest of Southeast Asia.

Answer:
The dynamics that played out in the lifetime of Nzinga Mbemba, King Afonso I of the Kingdom of Kongo typified the ambiguous nature of the socio-economic and international relations that still takes place even in the 21st century.
Explanation:
King Afonso, a Christian convert successfully established trade with the Europeans. The Europeans, however, wanted more than Wine and agri-produce. It was a dispensation when Slave Trade was still legal and a norm with the Europeans, perhaps even more lucrative than the agri-produce they came to Kongolese for.
Against the wishes of the King, the Kings subjects sold out their own free people to the Europeans in exchange for Portuguese merchandise. He threatened to stop trading with the Europeans altogether if this didn't stop.
These dynamics are very similar across the coastal kingdoms of the African continent where the colonianism became hegemonic and has translated to neo-colonianism to date.
A good example is Nigeria where history records that the British left power to the North who to date believe it is their birth to rule not just the Northern states/region but to also dominate the other regions such as the south-south, south-west and the south-east.
Cheers!
