Answer:

The major cause of World War I is "Imperialism".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Imperialism is the policy of establishing colonies away from the homeland and building an empire.
  • Colonies provide raw material, market to sell manufactured goods and military strength for many European countries.
  • France, Great Britain, Russia, America, and Germany all like to build a colonial empire.
  • Imperialism led to frequent tussle among the great powers of Europe in all parts of the world.
