Answer:

Great Britain demanded that Germany respect Belgium’s neutrality Germany refuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Belgium refused to allow German troops to march through Belgian territory into France, Germany invaded a small nation, Belgium, which brought Britain, pledged to guarantee Belgian neutrality, into the war. Britain entered World War I after the expiration of an ultimatum to Germany. Britain could never tolerate German troops directly across the English Channel in any case.
