The map of Europe in 1914 shows the political boundaries and alliances existing in Europe just before the outbreak of World War I. The outbreak of the war was greatly influenced by the complex system of alliances and rivalries between the major European powers at the time. These alliances created a domino effect, with one country being pulled into the conflict after another due to various treaties and agreements. The map helps to illustrate the close proximity of these nations and the tensions that existed between them, which ultimately led to the outbreak of World War I.
