That's a more difficult question to answer than it was for World War Two. In the years before WWI, the nations of Europe were forming and reforming alliances with one another. Ethnic hatred and colonial interests played a role in shaping the prelude to war. The spark (or excuse), that set WWI in motion, was the assasination of ArchDuke Ferdinand of Austria by the hand of a Serbian nationalist. All war is hell, and they tend to ignite rapidly. Mans sinfull nature is a good starting point.
