Britain joined World War I on August 4, 1914, after Germany invaded Belgium. The British government had a longstanding treaty obligation to protect Belgian neutrality, which was violated by the German attack. Prime Minister Herbert Asquith announced the decision to go to war, emphasizing the need to defend Belgium and uphold international law. This declaration marked the beginning of the UK's involvement in the conflict, aligning it with the Allies against the Central Powers.
