Russia saw it self as protecttor of the Orthodox Christianity and the slavic people it sufferd an embarissing defeat by Japan in 1905 and wanted to fix its reputation that's why it invaded Austria- Hungary before Austria- Hungary invaded Serbia it made a pact wwith Germany that if it attacked by Russia Germany would attack Russia.
England could have easily been invaded by the Germans if Hitler had decided to invade England. He chose to invade Russia instead.
they do so the soviets don't come and invade germant during the war...... hope that help???
russia and austria-hungary were continually fighting over the 'balkans' during ww1.
The 'allies' during world war 1 refers to Triple Entente (Britain, France, Russia and after Russia was kicked out, USA). The Triple Alliance however was Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy. Be careful not to get the two mixed up.
some guy from austria-hungary assassinated archbishop Ferdinand of Serbia. Serbia were allies of Russia and then Russia declared war on austria-hungary

Austria.
no
They both wanted dominance of the Balkans. Austria-Hungary controlled Bosnia and Herzegovina were there were a large number of ethnic Serbs. So Serbia believed they should control this area. In Russia at the time there was a belief in pan-Slavism (that all the Slavs in the world should help each other, in this case Russia should help Serbia). So when Austria-Hungary threatened to invade Serbia if its demands were not met in 1914 Russia came to help its ally and "Slav brother" Serbia, this would also serve to give Russia dominance in the Balkans.
Russia entered World War 1 through an alliance with Austria. World War 1 caused much distress with Russia's people. Many weapons came to the hands of peasants. World War 1 was a main contribution to starting the Russian Revolution. The alliance was not with Austria. Russia fought Austria. The alliance was with France against Germany.
Russia's allies during the war were France and Great Britain, know as the Triple Entente. On the other side was Germany, Austria-Hungry and for a short time Italy.
