the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria caused different countries to to alliance with one and another so that if there was a war they would help each other, to protect the royals in the country. the more countries that joined each alliance began people to begin fighting for each country and this was when the out break of ww1 started.
Each country had a secret alliance with maybe four or five other countries. so if one country declared war on another their allied countries would have to declare war as well.
For people to help defend themselves, several countries joined alliances.
a problem with ww1 was that most European countries were bound by ally agreements. When only 2 countries officially declared war on each other their allies were forced to join the war.
