Best Answer

The first world war was mainly started with Archduke Franz Ferdninand II's murder in Serbia. Germany helped Austria-Hungry in this difficult situation and Russia joined the other side.

Other factors were:- the Treaty of Cognac which was between Britain and Belgium before the war, and this is why Britain got involved when Germany invaded Belgium with the Schlieffen Plan.

France got involved because of the Pressure Germany was applying to the Rhineland, France's industrial land.

All of this together caused the First world war.

It was called the Great War because no war had ever been as large. Troops from as far away as New Zealand, Australia and India served. It was truly the first ever "world war". When Hitler invaded Poland and began another world war, the "Great War" became known as the "First World War" or "World War One".
