not very detailed but the archduke was shot by a Serb and all Serbs are protected by Russia. so Russia gets defensive over this Serb they want to protect. but Austro-hungry ( the country of archduke) is tied to Germany by an alliance. Russia was tied to England and France...those are the main countries but then a lot more joined...japan, Italy (more)...and it escalated to a world war that started when he was shot to 1918
