The German Empire, with its strong industrial base, powerful military, and aggressive foreign policies, rapidly became a dominant force in Europe. Its economic growth, technological advancements, and military might allowed Germany to assert its influence and challenge other European powers for supremacy. Therefore, Germany was the strongest power in Europe by 1888.

The annexation of Bosnia ultimately contributed to the tensions and rivalries that led to the outbreak of World War I.
