What was not a cause that led to the outbreak of world war 1?

Answer 1

One factor that was not a direct cause of World War I was the rise of nationalism in non-European countries. While nationalism fueled tensions in Europe, particularly among the major powers, it was the specific rivalries, alliances, militarism, and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand that directly triggered the conflict. Additionally, economic factors like trade imbalances did not directly lead to the war, even though they contributed to broader tensions.
