Alliances significantly contributed to the outbreak and escalation of World War I by creating a complex network of commitments that bound countries to support each other in times of conflict. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 triggered a series of mobilizations and declarations of war, as countries like Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, and Russia activated their alliances. The entangled alliances transformed a regional dispute into a full-scale global war, as nations were drawn in to honor their obligations. Ultimately, these alliances heightened tensions and made diplomatic resolutions more challenging, leading to the widespread conflict.
The Triple Alliance: Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy The Triple-Entente: Great Britain, France, and Russia
Yes, WW1 would have occurred even if the Austo-Hungarian Archduke was not killed. The assassination was just a short term cause to the WW1's beginning but if you look at the long term causes, Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism then you would understand that WW1 would have started anyways. The European nations were searching for an excuse to start war and what made it even bigger and more terrible was the alliance system. The alliance system was created to avoid war but in truth it lead to it. One way or an another world war one was going to happen anyways.
Think about it... if your ally is at war with someone, you, unfortunately, have an obligation to help. This is exactly what happened with WWI. Because many nations were allied with one another, they got sucked into the war as well.
In 1900, the two opposing alliances were primarily represented by the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. The Triple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, while the Triple Entente was formed by France, Russia, and Great Britain. These alliances set the stage for the geopolitical tensions that would later contribute to the outbreak of World War I.

the triple entente
*The United Kingdom, France and Russia along with Spain, Japan, the USA and other countries defeated... *The Triple Alliance (aka Cenral Powers) composed of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy & their other allies. *Spain was neutral in WW1 (and WW2) and didn't belong to either alliance in WW1. *Although Italy was a member of the Triple Alliance it entered WW1 in 1915 on the side of the Entente. *Russia defeated by Germany in 1917 and pulled out of the war in March 1918.
They had a strong alliance with Germany, the allies strike against Austria was too devastating so it had to leave the alliance and surrender to avoid its own defeat. (This goes for both WW1 and WW2
At first, Europe was full of alliances. the league of nations formed in ww1, and it kept on till ww2, but then another alliance formed. after the war that alliance became the UN, the most powerful alliance in history.
