What were the factors that caused the conflict to develop into a World War (alliances)?
You gave the answer yourself already: alliances. There were offensive/defensive alliances (Treaties) between Russia and France, between England and France, between Russia and Serbia and between Germany and Austria-Hungary and Germany and the Ottoman Empire. All those alliances entailing that whenever one party would be drawn into a war, the other one would come to its aid. And then there were the 'alliances', so to speak, between England, France, Germany and their many colonies all over the globe. The Ottoman Empire did not have colonies, but it had a number of more or less autonomous parts of its Empire that it could call upon in case of war. So when Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia, Germany on the one side and Russia on the other side became involved. Normally then France would have gotten involved because of Russia, but it got involved because Germany - well aware of this - decided to make a pre-emptive strike first and invade France. Which in turn got Britain involved. And all these countries called on their colonies to help in the war effort or they used their colonies as a base from which to attack the other's colonies. So there you are. The only country finally participating in WW 1 but not forced into the war because of alliances, was the USA.
