1- The late nineteenth century was an era of military competition, particularly between the major European powers. The policy of building a stronger military was judged relative to neighbours, creating a culture of paranoia that heightened the search for alliances. It was fed by the cultural belief that war is good for nations. Germany in particular looked to expand its navy. However, the ‘naval race’ was never a real contest – the British always s maintained naval superiority. But the British obsession with naval dominance was strong. Government rhetoric exaggerated military expansionism. A simple naivety in the potential scale and bloodshed of a European war prevented several governments from checking their aggression.
2- A web of alliances developed in Europe between 1870 and 1914, effectively creating two camps bound by commitments to maintain sovereignty or intervene militarily – the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance.
- The Triple Alliance of 1882 linked Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy.
- The Triple Entente of 1907 linked France, Britain and Russia.
A historic point of conflict between Austria Hungary and Russia was over their incompatible Balkan interests, and France had a deep suspicion of Germany rooted in their defeat in the 1870 war.
3- Imperial competition also pushed the countries towards adopting alliances. Colonies were units of exchange that could be bargained without significantly affecting the metro-pole. They also brought nations who would otherwise not interact into conflict and agreement. For example, the Russo-Japanese War (1905) over aspirations in China, helped bring the Triple Entente into being.It has been suggested that Germany was motivated by imperial ambitions to invade Belgium and France. Certainly the expansion of the British and French empires, fired by the rise of industrialism and the pursuit of new markets, caused some resentment in Germany, and the pursuit of a short, aborted imperial policy in the late nineteenth century.
4- Nationalism was also a new and powerful source of tension in Europe. It was tied to militarism, and clashed with the interests of the imperial powers in Europe. Nationalism created new areas of interest over which nations could compete.

Hello, I am going to help you in writting essay on Chronic Napoleon`rise to power.
Napoleon Bonaparte was born on August 15, 1769, in the city of Ajaccio. His family was of noble descent. He first studied at home, and from the age of six, he was handed over to a local private school.
In 1784, he entered the Academy of Military direction in Paris. After graduating, her young Napoleon received the title of lieutenant. After Napoleon Bonaparte gets the rank of lieutenant, he goes to serve in the artillery troops. A young military man with great joy meets the French Revolution in the 1784 year. He fully supports her, and become a member of the Jacobin Club.
In spring 1788 Napoleon took part in the development of fortifications of defensive lines. In the spring of 1792, the young officer becomes a member of the Jacobin Club. For the successful operation in the 1793 year, he becomes general, takes part in the crackdown of the rebellion of Royalists in the 1795 year.
After Napoleon goes on a military expedition to Syria and Egypt, but the military operation fails, and Napoleon returns to his homeland. This failure is not regarded as a failure of Napoleon, because by this time he is already fighting in Italy with the troops of Suvorov.
Napoleon is not going to stop there. In Paris, after the coup d'état, he seeks to appoint himself a consul for life. And in the year 1804, Napoleon was elected emperor.
The First Crusade which was in 1096, was the only successful Crusade.

Answer:
The Cold War, which started after the Second World War and spanned 1947 to 1991 refers to a period of political unease between the United States, the Soviet Union and their respective alliances.
In that period, specifically 1962, the Light-Emitting Diode (which has variants of red, blue and green that can be combined to produce the most perceptible colours, usable as holiday lights) was as invented.
