- Which cause of war would BEST be illustrated on this map?
The correct answer is A) Alliances
- How did imperialism foster the connection between the shaded countries on the map?
The correct answer is D) It was the long term cause of World War I due to the tension it created between countries leading to their military buildup, increased pride in culture, and formation of alliances.
WW1 ended with the Treaty of Versailles that was very harsh against Germany, it made the country pay a high debt and take all the responsibility of the war damages. This created resentment between countries and led to alliances on WW2.
Germany had to pay a large sum of money and this made the country suffer economically. This was the perfect ecosystem to the rise of totalitarianism like Hitler. He rose to power promising germans to restore national pride.
