They think that the best way to do this will be to go through Belgium. They think that France and the UK are bound to join the war at some point so they decide to invade France. Germany makes what is usually thought to be a massive mistake. The Russians have a treaty with Serbia so they declare war on A-H. Serbia obviously refuses so A-H invades Serbia. This was because Germany thinks it can win a major European war and will then be the dominant power in the world (having knocked the British empire from that position).Īustria-Hungary then sends Serbia a set of demands which basically boil down to: give up vast amounts of your sovereignty to us (under the guise of an investigation into the assassination) or we will invade. 28th July 1914 - Is accepted as the Start of World War One when Austro-Hungarian Empire. 28th June 1914 - Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and wife, heir to Austro-Hungarian Empire.
