The causes of World War I can be summarized by the acronym MAIN: Militarism led to an arms race among European nations, Alliances divided Europe into two camps, Imperialism heightened tensions through competition for colonies, and Nationalism fueled desires for self-determination, particularly in the Balkans. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand acted as a catalyst for the existing alliance systems. These factors collectively contributed to the outbreak of the war in 1914.
