No. Oil was not involved in the reasons for World War One.

World War One was triggered in August 1914 by the assassination of the Austrian Archduke, Franz Ferdinand and his wife, on 28th June 1914 by a Bosnian revolutionary, Gavrilo Princip.

The assassination event was just a trigger that set off the declaration of war after many European countries formed alliances to protect each other from invasion.

Once one country was invaded, their allies declared war in the invaders. And then the allies of the invaders declared war on the allies of the country they were invading (confusing enough?). It's all really complicated and arguably one of the most pointless wars in the history of mankind.
