Fast industrial development began in England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and America by the 19 th Century. With this raw materials were required and new markets were needed for finished goods. Increasing population and Military requirements etc. inspired the European countries for establishing colonies. In this competition England and France got most of the regions. After 1890 CE Germany also began to try to establish overseas colonies. Russia and Austria started to increase influence over Balkan region. Italy also entered this competition. This colonial rivalry created the feelings of hatred among the nations. As a result, these nations confronted each other in the first World War.
