How important were treaties and military alliances as a cause of World War 1?

Treaties were extremely important in causing the first world war. it turned a small time conflict between Serbia nationalists and Austria, into one that engulfed all of Europe.
The flash point that caused this was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, by a Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip. This caused Austria to declare war on Serbia. The declaration of war pulled Russia into the war (on Serbia's side), and this declaration caused Germany to be drawn into the war on Austria's side, along with the then powerful Ottoman Empire. This then pulled France and the UK on Russia's/Serbia's side. This formed the two sides, the 'triple entente' of the main players on one side: Russia, UK and France, and in the other corner the triple alliance: of Germany, the Ottoman Empire and Austria- Hungary.
Don't ignore other issues, such as the growing spread of fervent nationalism, and the already simmering tensions between the big players in Europe. However they were all dragged into the conflict by the treaties.
