It had a very demoralizing effect on the German public. It put many of Germany's western divisions to flight.
it became global
The short term effect was that Germany was now forced to confront one of Bismark's worst fears: a two front conflict. Hopes on the Allied side were very high, and Serbia, emboldened by a Russian promise to defend her, rejected Austria-Hungary's ultimatum outright, although previously they had been considering accepting most of the terms. For a short time Russia was finally starting to feel rejuvinated as the flood of patriotism took hold. The people stood behind their Tsar again, and everyone believed that Russia would be victorious. Of course, as history has shown, this was not to keep. Despite early success in East Prussia and against the Austrians, Germany quickly gained the upperhand over inferior Russian leadership and her badly equipped forces.

The Sudetenland - that is, the ethnic German areas of Czechoslovakia adjoining Germany (and what had previously been Austria) were in effect handed over to Germany by Britain and France. As a result Germany didn't have to fight in order to get this area.
The domino effect was when one country declared war on another, allied countries would get involved also eg. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Russia stepped in to help Serbia and then Germany stepped in to help Austria-Hungary and so on.. hope that helps :D
