They allowed a small conflict between Serbia and Austria-Hungary (Austria-Hungary taking over Serbia) to quickly grow larger and involve Germany, Russia, France, and UK. Serbia had an alliance with Germany, and Serbia was allied with Russia and Russia was allied with France and the UK. Now you see how two countries dragged in four more countries.

Further into the war, the US joined the Allied Powers (UK, France, Serbia, and Russia) and the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria joined the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary).
