The direct cause of WW1 was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand by Serbian members of secret military society, who had as their goal liberation of southern Slavs from the Austro-Hungarian rule. Austria then set an ultimatum on Serbia in order to search for the guilty, but Serbia was backed by Russia....

There are of course many other reasons - this was just the direct one.
