Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated by Serb separatists. Austria-Hungary sent them an ultimatum, the result of which drew Russia into the situation, because Russia was the self appointed defender of the Slavs. When war was declared between the two, France was forced in due to its alliance with Russia, and Germany was forced in due to its alliance with Austria-Hungary. Finally, England declared war on Germany for declaring war on Belgium.
