Militarism• There was competition over land in Europe.• Armies and navies were greatly expanded. The
standing armies of France and Germany doubled in size between 1870 and 1914.
• Naval expansion was also extremely competitive, particularly between Germany and Great Britain.
• Russia wanted to expand its land and gain access to warm water ports. These ports would give the Russian navy the Mediterranean Sea.
• Germany began a military buildup and increased its navy.

Imperialism• Great Britain, Germany and France needed
foreign markets after the increase in manufacturing caused by the Industrial Revolution.

interests over others.• In the 19th century, nationalism took the form of
people struggling for independence.• Serbia was at the center of the nationalist
movement in an area of Europe known as the Balkans
