The outbreak of World War I in 1914 serves as a prime example of the alliance system. The conflict escalated rapidly due to the entangling agreements between major powers: the Triple Entente (comprising France, Russia, and Britain) and the Triple Alliance (comprising Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy). When Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, alliances quickly drew multiple countries into the conflict, transforming a regional dispute into a global war. This illustrates how the alliance system can create a domino effect, leading to widespread military engagement.
