Which sentence best describes the influence of alliances on the start of world war i?

b. alliances forced member nations to settle their differences through talks rather than through armed attacks.
c. alliances prevented many european countries from joining the war because they had signed a pledge not to.
d. alliances between nearly all european nations meant that when two went to war, all became involved.

The correct answer would be alternative D) "Alliances between nearly all European nations meant that when two went to war, all became involved."

During World War I, also known as the Great War, there were two main military alliances: Triple Entente, formed by Britain, France and Russia, and Triple Alliance, formed by Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy.

With that being said, it becomes clearer how alliances actually made more nations get involved in the conflict, so as to help their allies. If one country from each alliance were to fight each other, the rest would come to aid the one that's in the conflict.
