There are a few causes for the beginning of WWI. One reason is the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. The assassination gave Austria-Hungary a reason to attack Serbia. After Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, other countries joined in to either help attack or defend. Another reason was because of Militarism. Militarism kind of gave rivalry between themselves and other countries because they would not want their rivals to have a bigger military.
They would keep improving their military until they would use it against who had a weaker military. The collapse of the alliance system is also a cause. When one country who doesn't agree with another, the enemy country may ally with them to give them an edge. Having more countries on your side may help you greatly because of their support. That are some causes I think influenced WWI.
