Why did Franz Ferdinand make Austria declare war on Germany?

The Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Bosnian-Serb. In retaliation Austria-Hungary gave Serbia an Ultimatum of demands designed to destroy Serbia's influence in Bosnia. Serbia rejected the Ultimatum and Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Germany was Austria-Hungary's ally and agreed to assist Austria-Hungary in the invasion of Serbia. Russia, fearing an invasion of Serbia would end it's own influence in the Balkans began to mobilize for war. As a result, Germany declared war on Russia.

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.
