In the context of World War II, the invasion of Belgium was just one of the events that signaled the eruption of active war on the Western Front in May of 1940. Following eight months of "phony war" from late 1939 to early 1940, German forces invaded the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium while on their way into France.

What event made Britain enter world war 1?

Officially, it was the German invasion of Belgium. Britain and Belgium had been allies for around 70 years when the war began. Additionally, since France and Germany had been enemies in the past, their border was heavily fortified on both sides, but Belgium's borders were not as heavily fortified. When the war began, Germany asked Belgium for permission to go through their territory; Belgium said no. So Germany did it anyway and conquered Belgium. When Germany launched their invasion, Britain honored their old alliance with Belgium and officially declared war.
