World War I was primarily caused by a complex interplay of nationalism, militarism, Imperialism, and a tangled system of alliances. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in 1914 acted as a catalyst, triggering a series of events that escalated tensions. Major powers rallied their allies, leading to a rapid escalation into a full-scale war. Additionally, longstanding rivalries and competition for colonies further fueled the conflict.
