there were many cuases the spark that boomed everthing was the assasination of archduke franz fedinand.
the things that were before the spark that set up WWI was nationalism( love for your counrty), imperialism(Expansion for your counrty), and some other, there was a thing called an arms race ,
that is when no one was fighting but everyone wasstockpiling weapons and getting ready to fight. Ther USA was loving this becuase they were selling all the weapons they were making to both sides.
. the sides were ( allied) good guyd and the cetral powers, bad guys. all types of thing cuased world war 1 but the barral of gunpowder was all the other cuases,
the one cuase or the spark put in the barrel, the future, austrian hungarian, empire's king archduke, franz ferdinand. he was visiting near a country that they were rivals with... nationalism was the cause of the assination.
it was done by a sebian man .. the archduke went to the counrty near their rivalry counrty.. serbia? not sure but he wanted to make peace with the serbians but a guy who was a nationalist ( person who loves their counrty) shot him for his country...
i can keep oing but i think you should look all this up for yourself... everything isnt gonna be answered here.. if i didnt answer your question then you can research.. i left you with a few things you can use to help research about it..

It is not the assasination of Duke that started the war, the assasination just gave a spark to ignite it, there were many factors and national disputes that culminated the outbreak.
You should read "The Guns Of August" by Barbara Tuchman.

The serb was a devil? Damn my history books left that part out. When they shwed pictures of him in books they
must of had his horns and cloven hoofs covered. The old time seven day and Jehovas Witness's said "it is the end of the world as we Know it, no that was a song wasn't it all they said was end of world. When it wasn't they just changed the date.
Shhh I think I hear them still. "Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door", no wait that is just another song yet some group is singing that old refrain.
Lets see, the English monarchy was realted to the Czar of Russia who was realted to the Archduke of the Austria/hungarian monarchy and the German leader was cousin to the English monarch it begins to look like a fight of siblings that got out of hand.
Germany was almost land bound and bordered on all sides with itself having gotten into the colonizing game had little outside wealth holdings and the Archduke had been feuding with the Serbs and in the Balkans forever.
A serb who was actually the devil and not an anarchist blew the archduke to hell so the Germans decide they should attck France Belgium and just about anyone else they could in order to get some wealth and have a clear shot to the trading upon sea lanes.
teh French without a Bonepart still tought they were smart, got in their taxis and went charging towards the front and got blown a part.
Poland not quite out of teh 14th cnetury was easily done in, the Austrians thought that the servbian devil had been working for the russians joined Germany but attacked the Serbs and Albanians and everyone in that area. Everyone knew the French would not put up any real fight and England due to treaty agreements and not having any thing better to do said Ok lets have a little war and then we can all get back to plundering rest of world once again.
Many societal changes wre ongoing during that time. France had been severly beaten just a few years prior. Franco Prussian war and an eleite Prussian military mentality took hold of Germany, While the Czart in Russia was trying to push his influence into the Balkasn was runing afoul f Germanys plans to have oil fields running from turkey who allied with Germany and the Austrians. Oil was just begining to be seeen as a necessary strategic material and getting to sources was every nations goals.
Best reaason of all though is that this was still a mentality of gentlemen and royalty fighting upon fields of honor where killing thugh necessary could be halted anytime one or mre of the gentlemen wanted. None of the leaders quite realized the new truth tht technology had ended such concepts and that warfare wuld mean such bloody a confrontation that both sides had to hide behind trenches while sallying forth once and a while to try and overwhelm what could nt be overwhelmed modern firepower. Rusai did not know didly squat was having a devil of a time trying to quiet the nrest of its popualce at first went to war aganst Germany fearing it would take over the Ukraine and its vast energy and agricultural fields, the peole of Ukraine were closer to the Austrians than russia in reality but of cours thes damn commies came and ended Russias war adventures. It was a good thing though as the Russians were just mrching as if in days of old and getting hundreds of tousands killed by their stupidity.
the US got there at the end, got bloodied and then left claiming they won the war but all they had realy done is make money selling to all sides. The remnants of Russian Royalty, the Whites, fled to Siberia, where Us joined with them fighitng those Reds, the damn commies,
One must go back before the outbreak of war to understand the reasons for war. The Germans had been foiled in all their overseas adventures and were feeling slightly miffed as almost evry other ntion had holdings already had but one recourse and that was War in order togain resources.
It was a war done mroe on a societal basis though and one canot forget that. Much unrest in all countries involved including turkey who had seen thened of old Byzantymum empire fallen int disarray.
As usuaual th flags flew, girls smiled at the soldiers and they left with smiles and died in a family afffair, no thats a song, a squabble.

It's almost inexplicable. A panic the same as a stampede or a rush out of a fire was caused by said assassination and the fact that there was an over treaty situation many secret and not secret caused countries to try to preempt attacks and strike the first blow. In terms of Political Science its almost impossible to understand. In terms of the Bible, it's very understandable. Satan was cast down to earth along with his minions of demons(all the angels that followed him) and the last days to this wicked system of things started, as prophesied in the Bible.

I say Satan is the cause of all that's evil but I guess your secular wordly heathen school system won't accept the TRUTH.
