Answer 1

Answer: D. European states established worldwide colonial empires.

Explanation:

The establishment of colonies by European countries led to the strengthening of nationalism primarily among Europeans. France and Britain were the world's leading and European colonial powers. On the other hand, Germany and Austro - Hungary emphasized the greed of France and Britain in the context of colonization.

Under such circumstances, tensions grew between opposing blocs, leading to a strengthening of militant nationalism.
