Best Answer

When The Archduke of Austria was assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia by a Serbian student, Austria threatened Serbia with war; Russia, a friend of Serbia, threatened Austria. Germany had a treaty with Austria so she threatened Russia.

Russia had a treaty with France and France had an understanding with Britain.

When Austria declared war on Serbia, Russia declared war on Austria.

Germany declared war on Russia, France declared war on Germany and so did Britain.

Germany mistakenly believed the war would end quickly. They invaded Belgium, not anticipating a fight. When they received one, they retaliated by killing citizens, including women and children. What followed were a series of missteps and mistakes that caused it to lose the war. It failed to think of what would happen if all their supply points were cut off, and they underestimated the capacity of the allied troops, particularly the Americans.
