The rise of militarism and nationalism throughout the world was one of the long-term causes of the First World War. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke of Austria-Este, was a short-term cause.
Long-range - the balance of power in Europe, with Germany looking to overtake British industrial supremacy.
Immediate - the assassination of the Habsburg heir, causing Austria to take a tough line with the Serbs, egged-on by Germany, who declared war on Russia and France, according to the only plan they had for a European emergency. When the Germans crossed into Belgium, the British were obliged to intervene by a treaty guaranteeing Belgian neutrality.
The German Kaiser had stirred-up a lot of the military hysteria, yet he was known to be privately terrified of a European war, and certain that Germany would lose. If he had stayed in Berlin during the crisis, he would probably have called off the war. It seems that the German high command were determined to go ahead with it, and they persuaded him to go sailing in the Baltic, to take advantage of the exceptionally hot weather. So he was hard to reach at the key moment, and the Generals got their way.
