"Large armies and navies, along with extensive colonial holdings, helped to define European national greatness."

Reason: 19th–early 20th century nationalism stressed national prestige and power, which countries expressed through military build‑up and imperial expansion. This drove competition (e.g., naval arms races, colonial rivalry) and helped set the stage for conflicts like World War I.
