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.

OIL and raw materials: Ah the ever lasting reason people go to war: OIL, OIL and more OIL. Other reasons were for power, land and megalomaniac dreams.

The United States believed the war posed a threat to world oil supplies
Japan was intent on "ruling the world" and they wanted the resources the Asian countries had, such as metal ores, oil, food, and people to fight their war.

The Iraq War. Also known as the Iraqi War.Hope that helps! :)
The conquest of new terrritories would bring wealth in raw materials, such as oil, iron ore, copper, etc.
The current war in Libya was caused by Gadaffi when he ordered the bombing of civilians in his own country. But no one would have done anything about it if it wasn't for the oil.
A Lot of Oil.
OIL, illegal invasions of other countries and maniacal dictators were the primary reasons. See the detailed answer on the related question below.
