I don't know exactly what you mean by a 'microcause', but the underlying reason for the First World War was German desire for expansion - Germany had only recently (1871) re-united as a nation, and was conscious that it was behind the game in getting full nationhood, a full army and navy, colonies etc. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was just an excuse to get going.
