In World War 1 Germany and Russia were on different sides. Germany fought against Russia and Russia fought against Germany...Basically in the First World War there were two sides. The Central Powers and the Allies. The Allies consisted of Britain, France, Italy and Russia but Russia leaves the war half way through. Other small countries also aided the Allies like Japan and China even some African countries.The Central Powers consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. Serbia was supported by Germany but at the start of the war Serbia just was not involved despite having caused the war.


How do you defend Germany in a world war 1 debate?

Germany did not start World War I. They only declared war on Russia because Russia mobilized troops toward the German border because Russia got involved in a territorial dispute between Austria, Germany's ally, and Serbia. Germany most likely would have ignored a fight between the monstrous Austria and little, tiny Serbia, but Russia made a threatening move on Germany which the couldn't ignore. Germany invaded France, but France had already declared war on Germany after Germany went to war with Russia, France's ally. During a war between to nations with a border, one is bound to invade the other and Germany made the first move. There isn't really an excuse for Germany's invasion of Belgium, so if it is mentioned in the debate, I'd suggest BSing an answer and moving on quickly.

A number of things. 1) the assassination of Austria's Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand; 2) the war that Austria started with Serbia which led to Russia's decision to mobilize its army; 3) Germany's policy of encouraging Austria not to compromise; 4) Germany's decision to declare war on Russia and start a pre-emptive strike against France.
