Britain had vowed to protect Belgium (their nearest neighbor) from invaders. When Germany crossed through Belgium to get to France, Britain sent troops to fight Germany. And remember, Britain had large colonial holdings throughout the world. Germany was colonizing as well, in Africa, etc. It was clear that Germany was to be tough competition in the world stage for the older Empires. Some Empires made deals with each other to aid and defend, like Russian and France. With industrialization came the inevitable arms race. 40 years of threatening to fight each other came down to one moment. The Heir to the Austrian throne was assassinated in Serbia, Austria vowed to crack down on Serbs. Russian had vowed to aid Serbia. Germany was obligated to help Austria-Hungary, and France was obligated to help Russia. Germany was surrounded and believed a quick strike through Belgium would be the best way to stop the French from invading Germany. It was one big mess.
