Serbia complied to all but one of Austria-Hungary's demands on the 25th of July, on the 28th of July, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, the USSR was mobilized but the German threatened war if it did not rescind it's mobilisation order.
On the 1st of August, Germany declared war against the USSR and France. France jumped at the opportunity of claiming revenge against Germany for Alsace Lorraine, and sent orders of mobilisation to support the USSR.
On the 3rd of August, Germany fought against time to implement their Schlieffen Plan and avoid war on two fronts and declared war against France.
Finally on the 4th of August, Germany invaded the neutral Belgium as a part of the Schlieffen Plan. Britain, supporting it's allies and honouring it's promise to defend Belgian neutrality, declares war on Germany.
Thus the outbreak of European War.
