They were able to clearly see the economic opportunities of all the countries they colonialised, helping them obtain the most profit from their colonies as they new what they wanted to do with each country to make more profit.

They were driven by competition from other European powers, and desired to attain more power. (Determined and focus on their goal of building their empire.)

3. Was Britain worried about the German Empire? Why or why not?

No, not really. They were more afraid of the French. And from WWI we can also see that the Germans were the ones who were jealous of the British empire and empire. So the British had little reason to fear the Germans.

On the other hand, the British ended up fearing the Germans as they threatened their economy and imperial supremacy through their domination during WWI.

Serbia was among the Balkan states such as Bosnia and Bulgaria.

Formerly part of the Ottoman Empire (1459-1878).

From the map, you can see close proximity Serbia has to Austria-Hungary Empire and Bosnia.

Bosnia was annexed by Austria-Hungary in 1908.

Question:

How did this development affect Serbia?

The announcement in October 1908 of Austria-Hungary's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina upset the fragile balance of power in the Balkans, enraging Serbia and pan-Slavic nationalists throughout Europe. The Serbs were furious, not just because Serbs lived there, nor even because they had hoped to conquer Bosnia themselves, but also because Austria stopped Serbian pork going through Bosnia which means less trade for them.
