What are the main causes of world war one?

At first glance World War I was all about “he started it” and there dragged in because of the alliances. One the war was fought and the victor was clear all that was left was the aftermath. In a sense they all started the war. The arms race, the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, imperialism, and nationalism all contributed to the cause of World War I.
The naval arms race between Germany and Great Britain, intensified by the 1906.
The HMS Dreadnought, a revolutionary battleship that rendered all previous battleships useless. This weakened Britain's power as a naval nation. Infantry troops were also in high development. Naval arms race in shipbuilding developed, tying in with the concept of new imperialism.
While the alliances emboldened participating nations and led each into believing they had a powerful backing, when the issue was even more complex. Each camp functioned in a unique way that contributed to the spread of war. For the Triple Alliance, the strong relationship between Germany and Austria expanded the conflict to a level where it would include at least four participants. Russia, France and Britain had a relationship that was much less certain, contributing to the fact that each made the decision to go to war without collaborative consultation and with their own interests in mind.

Falling stars, Rising Tides
Looking inside, as my heart hides
From the world and all its pains
Battered bruised, scared and stained

From town to town, state to state
Alone I stood, alone I wait
Until the day, you touched my life
To end my suffering, seize my strife

Over the hills, across the seas
Although your far away from me
When I awake I feel your breath
So if I have to, I'll wait till death

We'll lie together, side by side
No longer now, will my heart hide
Whether far away, or high above
I know at least, we have our love
