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 :)
