Answer 1

The right answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Britain, France and Belgium and other European powers had acquired vast empires in Africa, Asia and Oceania. They had to protect their possessions and mobilized enormous resources. They also established a network of military alliances in Europe, and this is also seen as a major factor of the start of armed actions in 1914.
