They went to war because when the Great War broke out in August 1914, Russia and France were lined up against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Each of these countries belonged to an alliance that committed them to supporting their alliance partner.=Britain was not committed to joining in the war in 1914, but did so. One of the reasons was the Treaty of London of 1839. This treaty committed Britain to protecting Belgium. But was Britain really protecting Belgium or was Britain protecting itself?=

What event made Britain enter world war 1?
Officially, it was the German invasion of Belgium. Britain and Belgium had been allies for around 70 years when the war began. Additionally, since France and Germany had been enemies in the past, their border was heavily fortified on both sides, but Belgium's borders were not as heavily fortified. When the war began, Germany asked Belgium for permission to go through their territory; Belgium said no. So Germany did it anyway and conquered Belgium. When Germany launched their invasion, Britain honored their old alliance with Belgium and officially declared war.
