It forced England to follow through on a treaty and get involved in the war.
Brief explanation: Britain had guaranteed Belgian neutrality (1839 Treaty of London). Germany’s invasion of Belgium provided Britain a casus belli and helped push it to declare war on Germany. (It did not spark the war—that began with the Austro‑Serbian crisis—and the U.S. entered much later.)
