Answer 1

a) disagreements among European states could easily erupt into

armed conflicts.

Step-by-step explanation:

After becoming newly industrialized, most areas competed for raw resources, and as a result, every country with colonies faced competition from other nations vying for the territory and colonies they housed. Germany's increasing industrialization made it a serious challenger to the British Empire. European countries thought that who controlled the oceans would determine who was the most powerful in the world.
