On July 31 Germany sent a 24-hour ultimatum requiring Russia to halt its mobilization and an 18-hour ultimatum requiring France to promise neutrality in the event of war between Russia and Germany.
Tensions between nations in European, including between Austria and Serbia, for a century after the Napoleonic Wars. The assassination was the last straw in Austria and Serbia's conflict and that conflict was the first one to cause the mobilization of troops. That mobilization caused Russia, then Germany and then France to go to war.
Leading up to World War I, Czar Nicholas II of Russia ordered a partial mobilization of the Russian army against Russia-Hungary. (Mobilization is the process of assembling troops and supplies and making them ready for war.) In 1914, mobilization was considered an act of war. The leaders of the Russian army informed the czar that partially mobilizing would create confusion among the armies because the war was to be against Austria-Hungary and Germany. The czar changed his orders, ordering for a full mobilization on July 29, 1914. The Germans reacted quickly, notifying the Russians that they must stop their mobilization within 12 hours. Germany called a two-front war with France and Russia. On August 4th, Great Britain declared war on Germany for violation of the neutrality of Belgium. By August 4th, all of the great European powers were at war.
