Answer:

Imperialism helped create World War One through the recruitment of natives from colonies of European Empires.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the time, Britain had the most colonies and had fought alongside native populations in the Middle East against Ottoman forces. The French had colonies in North Africa that would come to France and help defend the country from the German invasion. Germany had a few colonies in Africa but still recruited natives in the German Army.
