Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
The incident that triggered the beginning of World War 1 was the assassination of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne.
One notable native Austrian who fought in World War I was Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. He was the heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne and his assassination in 1914 sparked the outbreak of the war. While he did not serve on the front lines, his role as a key figure in the empire and the events surrounding his death significantly influenced the conflict's initiation. Other Austrian soldiers, such as those from various ethnic backgrounds within the empire, also played crucial roles in the war.

Britain did not start World War 1. Technically, a Serbian nationalist named Gavrillo Princip killed Austrian heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand which was the final event that sparked the war to begin.
because he was heir to the Austrian-Hungarian Throne and was murdered by a serbian, so the hungarians (who were allied with Germany) declared war on Serbia who were allied with the Russians who were allied with great Britain and France and that's what started it.
