The alliance system in Europe created a web of commitments that escalated regional conflicts into a global war. When Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Russia mobilized to support Serbia due to their Slavic ties. This prompted Germany to declare war on Russia, leading to France and Britain joining the fray due to their alliances with Russia. Thus, a localized dispute rapidly spiraled into World War I as allied nations were drawn into the conflict.
