What caused Belgium to declare itself a neutral nation three years before the outbreak of World War 2?
Belgium had been a major battlefield in WW 1 with all the devastation, loss of life and displacement of tens of thousands of Belgians that came with it. Belgium had every reason to fear that an eventual continuation of that war would again put them in the heart of the tornado, so to speak - as it did, a few years later. It hoped to avert that fate by declaring itself neutral at an early stage.
Excellent response! By the year 1936, 3 years before the outbreak of WW2, Belgium recognized that the German military build up was a danger to them. Since 1930, under the Wiemar Republic, Germany had begun to re- arm itself. Under the control of Hitler, this build up continued. Thus Belgium being aware of this declared in 1936, its neutrality.

How did European alliances lead to more countries getting involved in World War 1?
Well this is how......Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Russia had wanted to unite all Slavic people for some time, a belief known as pan-slavism, so they declared war on Austria-Hungary since Serbia was a Slavic nation, since Germany had been backing up Serbia through the whole ordeal since their leader, Kaiser Wilheim II was a great friend of Franz Ferdinand, then Germany declared war on France since they knew they were in an alliance with RUssia, then when Germany went to invade France they had to cross through Belgium, which is an eternally neutral country as stated by some document all of Europe signed some time before, when Belgium didn't let Germany go through Germany had to invade Belgium, the documents signers had promised to come to the aid to any of the eternally neutral countries if they were invaded, Great Britain had signed this document, and so had to declare war on Germany. Hope this helps sum it up for you :)
