When a nation considers the military to be the utmost and highest level(s) of achievement and power; that country is steeped in militarism. When a nation considers it's own country to be the utmost and highest level of achievement and power; that country is steeped in nationalism. When a nation begins taking over other nations for commercial profits (sometimes under the additional banner of "for their own good, safety, and protection") that's Imperialism (Colonization). Example: America (the current United States), was a colony of the British EMPIRE (Empire=Imperialism), until the late 1700's. "Some" of the goods offered by the American Colonies to Britain were: Tobacco, Cotton, and most important of all...Lumber (wood) to build England's SHIPS!

Militarism is great favoritism for ones own military; Nationalism is a great favoritism for ones own country, also referred to as "state" (sovoreigntry, bounds, self governance); Imperialism is the greater of the competition of ownerships and claims of smaller territories. ...All three terms are based on a competetive level as well as a level of beliefe and confidence; they pretty easily tie into government affairs, and the three of them end with "ism." [pretty self explanitory eh? :)]

The major cause of the Great War was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in June, 1914, by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist. The underlying causes of WWI were nationalism, a form of extreme patriotism and the desire to have independence among the Balkan territories; Imperialism, the desire to take over or gain control of other areas in the world; militarism, the arms race between the major powers; and the Alliance System that was military and defensive which drew all the major powers into the conflict because of their treaties with each other.
The date my good man, is the difference. Look for the events taking place between the years NOT imperialism before you begin to look for the difference.
