militarism
alliances
diplomacy
imperialism

Explanation:

The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the spark that started WWI, not the reason for US entry. The overthrow of the czar of Russia and the Battle of the Somme were events during WWI but not the immediate cause of US entry. A series of provocations from the Germans, such as unrestricted submarine - warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram, led to US entry. Militarism, alliances, and imperialism were long - term causes of WWI, while diplomacy was not a cause but rather a means of dealing with international relations.
