There were many more than 3 factors that contributed to the outbreak of WW1 in 1914:

- The militaristic behaviour of many European countries, as they competed in an 'arms race'. All countries were increasing their military capacities in preparation for a looming conflict: In 1906, Britain launched the Dreadnought- the most powerful battleship of the time. Germany introduced conscription. Britain secured her navy. Germany devises the Schlieffen plan to attack France.

- The alliances between European countries: Britain, France and Russia formed the Triple Entente, while Germany, Austro-Hungary and Italy formed the Triple Alliance. Germany offers Serbia a 'black cheque' to fight against Serbia, and Russia promised to defend Serbia against the Austrians.

- Nationalistic views: The countries were all mistrusting of one another, and had prepared for conflict.

However, it was triggers which caused the war to start when it did:

On 28th June 1914, Serb Student and member of 'Black Hand' group assassinates Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie on their visit to Sarajevo.

Due to the alliances, countries declare war upon one another. Germany invades Belgium using the Shlieffen plan, and and war is declared by more countries.

How was Germany defeated in world war 2?

Germany was defeated in World War II through a combination of strategic military campaigns by the Allied forces, including the successful D-Day invasion in June 1944, which opened a new front in Western Europe. The relentless advance of Soviet troops from the east also played a crucial role, culminating in the capture of Berlin in May 1945. Germany faced overwhelming logistical challenges, resource shortages, and internal disarray as the war progressed, ultimately leading to its unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945. The coordinated efforts of the Allies, along with the depletion of German forces, ensured their defeat.
