Quizplus · Accepted Answer

England had no formal alliances at the outbreak of World War I because it was universally despised. Its aggressive pursuit of empire in Africa and Asia had alienated the rest of Europe. In fact, Germany had hoped that England would stay out of the conflict entirely. Historians speculate that had Germany known that England would enter the conflict, it would not have backed Austria as aggressively as it did.
