Britain became involved in WWI because it was allied with Serbia, who was a country involved in the initial conflict of the assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.

My version:This very complex issue comes down to one very simple central fact:

Britain had entered into what are called mutual defense treaties with its Friends and neighbours.

When Arch Duke Ferdinand was assassinated it was inevitable that these treaties would mean that Britain was dragged into the mess.
