The British entered World War I primarily due to their commitment to defend Belgium's neutrality, as outlined in the 1839 Treaty of London. When Germany invaded Belgium on August 4, 1914, Britain saw this as a violation of international law and a direct threat to European stability. Additionally, Britain's alliances and obligations to France and Russia further propelled them into the conflict, solidifying their role in the war.
