There was a great deal of distrust between the European powers prior to World War I. As a result, various alliances had been established that vowed to assist each other in the case of attack. This is why the war became so large, people were getting into the fight mainly because of their treaties. England and France, for instance, were not happy about the power Germany had been acquiring and wanted the chance to slap it down.

The alliances formed among European nations prior to World War I were primarily intended to create a balance of power and deter aggression. Countries sought to secure mutual defense agreements, ensuring that an attack on one member would provoke a response from allies. These alliances aimed to strengthen national security and promote stability, but they also contributed to rising tensions and militarization. Ultimately, the complex web of alliances helped escalate a regional conflict into a full-scale war.
Alliances (by themselves) were not the cause of conflict in the Second World War. However prior to the First World War, Alliances played a contributing factor to the increase in tensions, the failure to resolve issues through diplomatic means, and the decisions of Austria-Hungary & Germany to launch offensive action against Serbia & France.
Alliances in Europe prior to World War I developed primarily due to a complex interplay of nationalism, militarism, and imperial competition. Countries sought to bolster their security against perceived threats from rival nations, leading to the formation of defensive pacts like the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) and the Triple Entente (France, Russia, and Britain). These alliances were also influenced by colonial ambitions and the desire to maintain a balance of power, ultimately creating a web of commitments that contributed to the war's outbreak.
In the 20th century, Europe formed alliances primarily through a combination of military pacts, diplomatic negotiations, and ideological alignments. The most notable alliances included the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente prior to World War I, and later, NATO and the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War. These alliances were often driven by mutual security concerns, colonial interests, and the desire to counterbalance rival powers. Additionally, the aftermath of the two World Wars reshaped alliances, leading to the establishment of organizations like the European Union to promote economic and political cooperation.
Because of the huge alliances which existed prior to the war, any conflict involving almost any nation on Earth was going to inevitably draw in everybody else.
Europe's system of alliances prior to 1914 heightened the likelihood of a large-scale conflict by creating a web of obligations that pulled multiple nations into a confrontation. The complex interconnections between countries, such as the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente, meant that any localized conflict could trigger a wider war. This environment fostered an atmosphere of mistrust and competition, making diplomacy more challenging and increasing the chances of miscalculations leading to war. Ultimately, these alliances contributed to the rapid escalation of tensions that culminated in World War I.
