The First World War started in 1914 when Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. After Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia, Russia teamed up with Serbia under their alliance and went against Austria-Hungary.

After Russia had joined the war, Germany had joined on Austria-Hungary's side - also under alliance. Finally, the rest of the Triple Entente (United Kingdom and France) joined after Germany had started to invade France; this was because Kaiser Wilhelm and the German army feared that France would try to invade.

And so the war in Europe began, later bringing the German and British Empires to bring their overseas colonies into the fight overall making this a World War.
