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.
Because Germany declared war on Serbia, russia mobilized its army to protect Serbia due to an old alliance
Nicholas II entered World War I primarily to support Russia's allies, particularly Serbia, after Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Additionally, he aimed to assert Russia's role as a great power and protect its interests in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. The desire to maintain national pride and military prestige also played a significant role in his decision to mobilize the Russian army. Ultimately, these factors contributed to Russia's involvement in a conflict that spiraled into a global war.
Russia was Serbia's main ally during World War I. Russia had a powerful army and powerful allies as well.
Russia initially became involved in World War I due to its obligations as an ally of Serbia, following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. As tensions escalated between Serbia and Austria-Hungary, Russia mobilized its army to support Serbia against potential aggression. Additionally, Russia aimed to assert its influence in the Balkans and counter Austro-Hungarian and German expansion, viewing itself as a protector of Slavic nations. This alignment with Serbia ultimately drew Russia into a broader conflict as alliances were activated.
Russia began moving it's army toward the russian-Austrian border. it mobilized Russia along the German border
In response to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia, Russia mobilized its army to support Serbia, viewing itself as a protector of Slavic nations. This mobilization was seen as a direct threat by Germany, which had promised to support Austria-Hungary. Consequently, Germany declared war on Russia on August 1, 1914, as part of its strategy to engage in a two-front war against both Russia and France, escalating the conflict into World War I. This chain of events intensified tensions in Europe and drew multiple nations into the war.
....Russia and France were partners in an offensive/defensive treaty they had concluded earlier. So declaring war on Russia according to the Treaty 'automatically' meant that a state of war came to exist between Germany and France.
A number of things. 1) the assassination of Austria's Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand; 2) the war that Austria started with Serbia which led to Russia's decision to mobilize its army; 3) Germany's policy of encouraging Austria not to compromise; 4) Germany's decision to declare war on Russia and start a pre-emptive strike against France.

The austro-Hungarian empire with the support of the triple alliance including austros Germans and Italians this act of war was in retaliation to the assignation of archduke franz Ferdinand IMPROVEMENT. Italy did not attack Serbia. Although it was still a member of the Triple Alliance in 1914, Italy declared its neutrality in the conflict, because one of the main clauses of that Treaty committed the allies to intervene in a conflict only if one o more of them had been attacked.
The outbreak of World War I was triggered by a series of events involving Austria-Hungary, Serbia, and Russia. After the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by a Serbian nationalist in June 1914, Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia with harsh demands. Serbia's response was deemed unsatisfactory, prompting Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia on July 28, 1914. Russia, in defense of Serbia and its Slavic allies, began mobilizing its army, which escalated tensions and led to the broader conflict involving multiple nations.
Russia helped Serbia throughout most of the war. Being the largest army in the world at the time, it used much of its forces to defend its "little brother" Serbia. Eventually, Russia had to withdraw from the war due to the communist revolution in Russia led by Vladimir Lenin.
