During World War I, most of the European nations were eventually drawn into the conflict because of two distinct but closely connected reasons. First, nationalism was a very strong force at the time; thus, many nations were driven into war for the sake of the national prestige that seemed to be at stake. Second, the complex alliance-system at work in Europe at the time made it virtually impossible for any single nation to remain neutral, even where its borders were not directly threatened when the war first broke out.
