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.

You have to choose something like the Berlin Airlift for example, and you need to explain how it reflected the us policy of containment.

Be sure to add the bolded parts

here is some information you could use for the article you need to write--
<span> --The Berlin Airlift came about as a result of an economic crisis and an attempt by the West to introduce a new currency to stabilize the country’s finances.

The Russians closed access to the Western-controlled sectors of Berlin, threatening to starve the people in those sectors unless the Allies withdrew their currency plans.

Since ground and rail transportation routes were blocked by the Communists, the west flew planes into West Berlin with food and supplies, starting in June of 1948.

By the following spring, more supplies were reaching the city than had previously arrived by rail, and the Soviets ended the blockade in May of 1949. None of this changed the boundaries or lowered tensions much.

--</span>
The West, primarily the U.S. simply maintained the status quo with their policy of containment so that Communism didn’t speak significantly into other parts of the world. The freedom of West Berlin was an example of the will of the West to maintain that containment.

--

<span>The thinking at the time was that, if South Viet Nam fell to the Communists in the North, then the other countries in the region would “fall like dominoes.” (</span><span>the domino theory)
