Most of Europe's countries were mobilizing their armies. They were gathering large numbers of soldiers, giving them weapons, and stationing them along borders of other countries. Mobilization was seen as an act of war. If you put a huge army with weapons on my front porch, I too would assume you're going to use them on me.
World War actually happened because of a feud with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Serbia. The Austro-Hungarian heir was murdered, supposedly by the Serbs, and because of this the Austo-Hungarians imposed strict ultimatums on the Serbs. The Serbs had an old alliance with Russia and called them in to help. Because the Serbs called in their alliance with Russia, the Austro-Hungarians called in help from their sister country - Germany.
How it happened shortly from there: Germany saw the mobilization of Russia as an act of war (as previously stated in paragraph one) and declared war on Russia without warning. France got involved because of an alliance with Russia that was already in place. Germany saw France was now involved and went through Belgium to get to France as fast as possible, which then violated Belgium neutrality. Britain had an old alliance with Belgium to protect the small country, and a loose alliance with France (which stated more of an obligation - but they were not forced to defend France), so entered the war to defend Belgium Neutrality. Britain had several colonies around the world which then offered military help, the same goes for France. The US got involved because of unrestricted submarine warfare, after previously warning the Germans to stop unrestricted warfare they began to do so again, so the US joined WWI for the last 7 months.
Basically, mobilization of armies across Europe caused tension. While alliances that were held turned a small Serbia vs. Austria-Hungary war into a world war.
Europe blamed Germany so Germany got mad and they retaliated
