On the 28th of June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand –heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne– was assassinated in Bosnia.
Austria pointed the finger at Serbia, and therefore declared war on them. They then started bombing Belgrade.
Next Russia’s army prepared to help defend Serbia against the attack.
Germany –Austria’s ally– then sent a letter, demanding Russia that they pull out and abandon helping Serbia; in defending their country.
Russia refused and so forth, Germany declared war on Russia. They also begin to move their army towards France (Russia’s ally.)
France then began to prepare to fight a German invasion, and to top things off Austria declared war on Russia.
Meanwhile. the Germans were still in Belgium, when Britain declared war on them, Germany then declared war on France and invaded Belgium (even though they were not part of the triple entente!)
Finally Britain then ordered Germany to withdraw from Belgium.
