Explanation:

The problem is about imperialism, which falls under the subfield of History in Social Science. To fill in the blanks, we use historical knowledge about imperialism:

• For the first blank under "European nations countries wanted markets", "Nationalism" (already introduced) or "Competition" fits as it caused competition. But more accurately, "Imperialism" or the drive for resources/markets. However, the context of "caused competition between developed countries to plant their flag" is about the "Scramble for Colonies" or "Competition for territory". But using lecture notes, the first blank here is likely "Imperialism" or "Competition", but more precisely, the term related to the race for colonies is "Imperial Rivalry" or "Competition". Then "Many looked to _ as a solution" - colonies (to get markets/resources).
• For "helped developed countries maintain control of their _", it's "colonies", and the tools (the next blanks) are "Technology", "Military", "Communication", "Transportation", "Administration" (the 5 Ms or similar: Money, Military, Missionaries, Medicine, Media? Or the "tools of imperialism" like technology, military force, communication, transportation, and administrative systems).
• In "THE SCRAMBLE FOR AFRICA", European countries invaded "Africa" to build empires after diamond/gold discovery. Competition led to the "Berlin Conference" (1884), included 14 "European" countries, no "African" representation, intended to ease "tensions" or "conflict", and to claim an area, they needed to "control" it. By 1914, countries in the "Scramble for Africa" divided all of "Africa".

But since the question is to fill blanks using lecture notes, the key answers (based on standard imperialism content):

• First blank (caused competition): "Imperialism" (or "Competition")
• Solution blank: "Colonies"
• Control tool: "Technology" (or "Military", "Communication", "Transportation", "Administration" for the 5 blanks)
• Scramble for Africa: invaded "Africa", Berlin Conference (1884), 14 "European" countries, no "African" representation, ease "conflict", "control" it, Scramble for Africa divided all of "Africa".

Answer:

(For the key blanks, based on standard history of imperialism):

• The blank under "European nations countries wanted markets" (caused competition): Imperialism (or Competition)
• "Many looked to _ as a solution": Colonies
• "helped developed countries maintain control of their _": Colonies; the next blanks (tools): Technology + Military + Communication + Transportation + Administration (or other standard "tools of imperialism")
• "THE SCRAMBLE FOR AFRICA": European countries invaded Africa; led to the Berlin Conference (1884); included 14 European countries; no African representation; intended to ease tensions; to claim an area, they needed to control it; by 1914, countries in the Scramble for Africa divided all of Africa
