Following Germany's unprovoked attack on Belgium in violation of Belgian neutrality, Great Britain declared war on Germany is a TRUE statement.

Explanation:

The treaty that was signed between Great Britain, Germany and a few other nations regarding the neutrality of Belgium in 1839 was breached by Germany in 1914 by invading Belgium through an unprovoked and spontaneous military action. The German Confederation despite being a signatory to the treaty that ensured the protection of Belgium's neutrality attacked Belgium. This action was not welcomed by Great Britain and was responded to by calling a war against Germany.
