The war started mainly because of four aspects: Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism. This is because big armies become potential threats to other countries, other countries started forcing alliances in order to secure land. Imperialism was a cause because building an empire needs manpower such as an army and a navy to conquer and keep the land that they colonized.

What are the main causes of world war one? There are a variety of possible reasons but the main ones are Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism. In a way one reason was often connected to another. On a side note it also could be said that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Body1 basic info, Militarism is a philosophy or system that emphasises the importance of military power. Alfred Vagts, a German historian who served in World War I, defined it as the “domination of the military man over the civilian, an undue preponderance of military demands, an emphasis on military considerations
Body2 basic info, Alliances: The Allies of World War I or Entente Powers were a coalition of countries led by France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan and the United States against the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria and their colonies during the First World War
Body3 basic info, Imperialism: The expansion of European nations as empires (also known as imperialism) can be seen as a key cause of World War I, because as countries like Britain and France expanded their empires, it resulted in increased tensions among European countries

Nationalism is an intense form of patriotism or loyalty to one's country. Nationalists exaggerate the importance or virtues of their home country, placing its interests above those of other nations
