Because of how the system of allies was, if one country declared war on another, the allies of both countries would join the war as well, to support their allies. This led to a chain event during World War I. Many countries simply got involved because they were allies with Another Country and had promised to defend them.
Example:
Austria and Serbia had been the first to go to war. Germany joined soon for it was an ally of Austria. The same goes for Russia with Serbia as well as many other nations.
The alliances France had were Britain and obviously the United states.

The key factors that led to the formation of the Triple Entente (France, Russia, and Britain) and the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) were a mix of political alliances, military strategies, and territorial ambitions. These alliances impacted the balance of power in Europe before World War I by creating a system of rivalries and tensions that ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the war. The alliances increased the likelihood of conflict and created a complex web of alliances that drew countries into the war based on their alliances rather than the specific causes of the conflict.
