Before World War I, factories and countries fought over land and power. They argued over resources and markets, especially in Africa. Factories grew, but so did anger among the poor. Countries made deals and alliances, making the world tense. Events like the Moroccan Crisis and the Balkan Wars showed this tension. In the end, competition for land and power, along with countries wanting strength, led to a big war.
