b) imperialism
Imperialism, the extension of a nation's power and influence through territorial acquisition, played a role in the complex web of factors that contributed to the outbreak of World War I in Europe. The competition among European powers for colonial possessions and global dominance was one of the underlying causes of tension and rivalries that eventually escalated into the conflict. The quest for imperial expansion contributed to the alliance systems, militarization, and the overall atmosphere of geopolitical competition in the prelude to World War I.
