Battle of Passchendaele, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres or simply Third Ypres, was one of the major battles of World War I. In this battle, British, ANZAC, Canadian and South African units engaged the Imperial German Army. The battle was fought for control of the village of Passchendaele (now called Passendale) near the town of Ypres (now called Ieper) in West Flanders, Belgium. The plan was to drive a hole in the German lines and advance to the Belgian coast and capture the German submarine bases there. It was intended to create a decisive corridor in a crucial area of the front, and to take pressure off the French forces

Germany declared war on France on 3rd. August 1914, and the next day - without any declaration of war - German armed forces invaded Belgium, which had been declared a neutral country in Europe by The Treaty of London in 1839. Britain was committed to the defence of Belgium by this treaty, and declared war on Germany. A popular recruiting slogan of the time was "Remember little Belgium". The Irish felt a great empathy with this European country which was small and vulnerable, like their own.

If you can't find everything you need easily at the site below I'll be surprised.

There's a specific article on "the Battle of Passchendaele: 31 July - 6 November 1917"

The origins, (or background) to WW1 is a classic question.
There isn't a simple answer that is simply right.

Why don't you start with wikipedia and move from there. Remember that wikipedia contains contributions by readers so it is not that scholarly but it has useful links that can take you to good information.
