The 'blank cheque' was a pledge of almost unconditional support given by Germany to Austria-Hungary early in the crisis following the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in June 1914. It was top secret at the time and no other country was involved. It is widely believed that the 'blank cheque' encouraged Austria-Hungary to behave unreasonably towards Serbia.
