Answer 3

The post by Marsianer is essentially correct, but one must read several books on this time period to get the full idea. At that time the major nations of Europe had all entered into treaties of protection with one another and there were basically two groups. So when one nations was attacked or war declared, then an allied nation would enter the fray in support of its ally.
