Among the factors that led to war were the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, increased tension in the Balkan peninsula, and the formation of alliances. Britain, France, and Russia formed the Triple Entente. Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary formed the Triple Alliance. So it corresponds to the graph.
