Finally, Russia and Austria-Hungary disagreed over the treatment of Serbs in central Europe. Nationalism Germany was allied with Austria-Hungary while Russia, France and Britain were partners

  18. For many centuries, European nations built empires. Colonies supplied raw materials and provided markets for manufactured goods. As Germany industrialized, she competed with other nations and colonies made her more competitive. Imperialism
