What were the factors that caused the conflict to develop into a World War (alliances)?
You gave the answer yourself already: alliances. There were offensive/defensive alliances (Treaties) between Russia and France, between England and France, between Russia and Serbia and between Germany and Austria-Hungary and Germany and the Ottoman Empire. All those alliances entailing that whenever one party would be drawn into a war, the other one would come to its aid. And then there were the 'alliances', so to speak, between England, France, Germany and their many colonies all over the globe. The Ottoman Empire did not have colonies, but it had a number of more or less autonomous parts of its Empire that it could call upon in case of war. So when Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia, Germany on the one side and Russia on the other side became involved. Normally then France would have gotten involved because of Russia, but it got involved because Germany - well aware of this - decided to make a pre-emptive strike first and invade France. Which in turn got Britain involved. And all these countries called on their colonies to help in the war effort or they used their colonies as a base from which to attack the other's colonies. So there you are. The only country finally participating in WW 1 but not forced into the war because of alliances, was the USA.

How did the network of European alliances cause world war 1 develop?
The network of European alliances created a volatile environment, where tensions between major powers could escalate rapidly. The Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) and the Triple Entente (France, Russia, and Britain) divided Europe into opposing camps. When Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914, Austria-Hungary's decision to confront Serbia triggered a chain reaction, as allied nations were drawn into the conflict due to their commitments. This web of alliances transformed a regional dispute into a full-scale global war.
Why did the alliance system develop in 1900s?
The alliance system developed in the early 1900s primarily due to rising tensions and rivalries among European powers, driven by nationalism, militarism, and imperial ambitions. Countries sought to protect themselves from perceived threats by forming strategic partnerships, leading to the creation of two main blocs: the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) and the Triple Entente (France, Russia, and Britain). This network of alliances aimed to deter aggression but ultimately contributed to the scale and complexity of conflicts, culminating in World War I.
Why did alliances develop in Europe prior to World War 1?
Alliances in Europe prior to World War I developed primarily due to a complex interplay of nationalism, militarism, and imperial competition. Countries sought to bolster their security against perceived threats from rival nations, leading to the formation of defensive pacts like the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) and the Triple Entente (France, Russia, and Britain). These alliances were also influenced by colonial ambitions and the desire to maintain a balance of power, ultimately creating a web of commitments that contributed to the war's outbreak.
