Answer: Because Germany was located in between potential enemies to its west (Britain, France) and a major potential enemy also in the east (Russia).
Context/detail:
Let's assume your question is referencing "The Great War," which we now know as World War I. There was much military buildup and an arms race between the nations of Europe and increased tensions between the nations of Europe during the early years of the 20th century. Along with increasing expenditures on military forces and navies, there was pressure to form alliances with other nations to strengthen a nation's defenses in case there was a war. The Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance set up in opposition to each other.
The Triple Entente aligned Britain, France and Russia all as allies with one another, sworn to come to each other's defense in time of war. That put Germany and its allies (Austria-Hungary and Italy*) in between those powers. Germany knew that if a major war broke out, it would need to fight on both its western and eastern front.
Because Russia and France were tied together in an alliance, and opposed to Germany, the Schlieffen Plan (developed by German field marshall Alfred von Schlieffen) determined that a quick strike against France on the western front would be necessary in order to focus any war efforts against Russia in the east. This played into the start of World War I, because when only Germany (along with Austria-Hungary) and Russia were involved in war declarations after the assassination of Austria's archduke Franz Ferdinand, the first thing the German army did was to go and attack France.
*<em>Note: Italy changed sides when the Great War began and sided with the Allies (Britain, France, Russia, etc) rather than the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, plus Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire).</em>

Answer:
James II and VII (14 October 1633O.S. – 16 September 1701[1]) was King of England and Ireland as James II and King of Scotland as James VII,[3] from 6 February 1685 until he was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The last Roman Catholic monarch of England, Scotland and Ireland, his reign is now remembered primarily for struggles over religious tolerance. However, it also involved the principles of absolutism and divine right of kings and his deposition ended a century of political and civil strife by confirming the primacy of Parliament over the Crown.[4]
James inherited the thrones of England, Ireland and Scotland from his elder brother Charles II with widespread support in all three countries, largely based on the principle of divine right or birth.[5] Tolerance for his personal Catholicism did not apply to it in general and when the English and Scottish Parliaments refused to pass his measures, James attempted to impose them by decree; it was a political principle, rather than a religious one, that ultimately led to his removal.[6]
In June 1688, two events turned dissent into a crisis; the first on 10 June was the birth of James's son and heir James Francis Edward, threatening to create a Catholic dynasty and excluding his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange. The second was the prosecution of the Seven Bishops for seditious libel; this was viewed as an assault on the Church of England and their acquittal on 30 June destroyed his political authority in England. Anti-Catholic riots in England and Scotland now made it seem only his removal as monarch could prevent a civil war.[7]
Representatives of the English political elite invited William to assume the English throne; after he landed in Brixham on 5 November 1688, James's army deserted and he went into exile in France on 23 December. In February 1689, Parliament held he had 'vacated' the English throne and installed William and Mary as joint monarchs, establishing the principle that sovereignty derived from Parliament, not birth. James landed in Ireland on 14 March 1689 in an attempt to recover his kingdoms but despite a simultaneous rising in Scotland, in April a Scottish Convention followed their English colleagues by ruling James had 'forfeited' the throne and offered it to William and Mary. After defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in July 1690, James returned to France where he spent the rest of his life in exile at Saint-Germain, protected by Louis XIV.
