One of the four main causes was imperialism. This means that countries were trying to have to most colonies, or smaller countries. The more colonies you had, the more wealthy and influential your country was.

Great Britain was so close to having a war with the United States and France over colonies! Alliances…

Unequivocally, nationalism was one of the four main elements that abetted in instigating World War I, as it was a radical form of ideology, loyalty, and patriotism to one’s individual country stemming from a strong sense of pride and attachment that people of a certain country or culture had the tendency to exude, seeing as they placed the interests of their own country above the interest of any other country.
