Answer:
A. German military aggression in western Europe
Step-by-step explanation:
Belgium had won the war for its independence and at the Treaty of London in 1839 Britain with other major powers guaranteed the independence of this nation. On the 4th of August 1914, Germany invaded Belgium and thus Britain stepped in to honor its promise from 1839. But it is not sure if they stepped in the war because of the Treaty of London or because the German empire would pose a serious threat to Great Britain if they controlled Belgium.
