In Europe there were nations that were ruling smaller nations also called colonies. It was essentially a race to see who was able to amass the most colonies for their country. France and Britain topped the list with the most colonies in Africa and Asia where a large amount of raw resources were. These resources helped to further the advancement of technology which meant that it also meant that there was advancement in the military system as well. Germany and Italy saw what France and Britain was doing by gathering colonies and they decided that this is what they wanted as well. If France and Britain were able to have them then why shouldn’t Germany and Italy. Since each country was out to prove that they were the best country and nationalism was prevalent this was also another contributing factor to the beginning of World War
