They scared off the near countries with threats and they gave up without a fight. they also shot bombs at them to prove their threats

It was dangerous because the alliances were large and if a war was to start i.e. World war 1, then all the alliances would be triggered creating a large scale war. It posed Nations being forced to be involved in another Nation's crisis.
Some of the long term causes are - the arms race between Germany and Britain, the alliances (Triple alliance & triple entente) Some of the short term causes are- the invasion of Belgium by Germany, the French Colonies
