11. 1. Austria blamed Serbia for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, but did
nothing for a month. They needed to be sure of German support, should
Russia become involved.
2. The Austrians went to Germany for help - Kaiser Wilhelm promised to
support them, whatever they did (the so-called 'blank cheque').
3. The Austrians sent Serbia a ten-point ultimatum, they expected it to be
rejected. The Serbians accepted every point but one. Austria invaded
Serbia anyway, it had wanted an excuse to crush Serbia.
4. Russia mobilised its army to support Serbia; but this involved mobilising
troops against Germany as well as Austria-Hungary. Germany warned it
would enter the war if Germany did not halt mobilisation.
5. The Germans were scared by Russia's mobilisation - according to the
Schlieffen Plan they had to fight France before Russia. So they invented
an excuse and declared war on France anyway.
6. Because the German army went through Belgium, Britain entered the war.
