Answer:
Four prewar conflicts are:
Control of Balkan States
North Africa colonies
Alsace- Lorraine
The freeing of Italians from Austrian rule
Explanation:
The Balkans campaign, or Balkan theatre preworld war 1 conflict was fought between the central power of Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany and the Ottoman Empire on one side and the Allies, which included Serbia, Montenegro, France, the United Kingdom, Russia and Italy, and later Greece, on the other side.
A prewar conflict 1914, was Germany having four colonies: Togo, Kamerun (Cameroon), German Southwest Africa and German East Africa, where the armies of Britain and France fought with imperial German forces, ending the German colonial rule in Africa.
The attack to Austria-Hungary from Italy, along the Isonzo River and in the Trentino, was another prewar conflict.
Propaganda was one way. I can’t think of any others right away.
Anvil is a tool used by blacksmiths, and it is the surface on which the object is placed which is worked on with a hammer- stroked with a hammer.
von Bülow meant (in 1899) that Germany will either have to colonize others ( be the hammer) or it would have to risk being colonized itself (being the anvil), hence showing the need for Germany to participate in colonization.
