Alliances played a key role in the war, because they are what brought war to such a global scale. When Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serbian, Austria-Hungary declared war. Germany was allied with Austria-Hungary and thus were obligated to go to war aswell. Alliances also played a role in Britians joining the war, because they joined as an ally of Belgium when Belgium was invaded by Germany.

Do countries need alliances to survive Why or Why Not?

While it is not completely necessary to have an alliance, it is far more beneficial for countries, especially those with a poor military defense, to have support from other countries in order to ensure the safety of it's people. Even countries with a strong defense would benefit from alliances, in case other countries decide to join forces against said country. Even outside of matters concerning war, alliances would benefit countries in matters of other concerns including trade perhaps.
