What was the long term reason why Great Britain was willing to risk war in 1914?

Answer 1

France was concerned that Germany would choose to invade and worries grew after the Triple Alliance was signed. Later, they were confident that the Maginere Line would prevent invasion. And it got into a contract among nationsh which was not really well thought about, which just ended up in a lot of unplanned stuff: Like World War I. The Bakins were really minor on everybody's dying. Except to the people living there. Governments really got serious about their agreements; the problem today, and then is that most people did not really remember nor understand what they said. Or why they said it. But, there is a tendency for governments, to really get tied to their words: their words they think they said. See: Barbara Tushman.
