Answer:

- It created jealousy and mistrust among the European nations

Step-by-step explanation:

During the nineteenth century, and the first years of the twentieth century, shortly before World War I, Several European powers such as Britain, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany, had colonial possessions all over the world: in the Americas, in Africa, in Asia, and in Oceania.

In some of these areas, for example, in Africa, European Powers had bordering colonies, and this created the tensions and mistrust that finally led to the start of World War I.
