Germany was a major player in World War I and kind of got the ball rolling. They were part of the Triple Alliance with Austria-Hungary and Italy, which meant they had each other’s backs. When Austria-Hungary’s Archduke was assassinated, Germany gave them a “whatever you need” kind of support, which pushed things toward war. Germany came up with this plan called the Schlieffen Plan, where they figured they’d knock out France quickly by marching through neutral Belgium. This plan backfired since invading Belgium ticked off the UK, so they jumped into the war too. On top of that, Germany went all-in on submarine warfare, sinking ships left and right, including ones with civilians. This eventually pulled in the United States and a bunch of other countries, which made the war even messier. The whole thing on the Western Front turned into a long, grueling trench warfare with not much progress on either side.
The circumstances that led to the war are far more complex than can be described in a few sentences. It was a structure of contracts, mutual assistance pacts, economic interests, etc. It was like Pandora's box that was triggered by the assassination attempt on the heir to the throne, Prince Ferdinand, and his wife.
