Due to a series of alliances. The heir to the Austrian throne was murdered by some Bosnians and Serbs; Austria blamed Serbia for it. Russia was allied with Serbia, and Germany was allied with Austria. When negotiations to avoid war failed, Austria declared war on Serbia; then Russia declared war on Austria. Germany then declared war on Russia and France, who was Russia's ally.
