Germany supported Austria-Hungary primarily through military and diplomatic means during the early 20th century, particularly in the lead-up to and during World War I. After the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, Germany provided a "blank check" assurance of unconditional support, encouraging Austria-Hungary to take a hard stance against Serbia. This alliance was part of the broader Central Powers coalition that included Germany, Austria-Hungary, and later, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria, working together against the Allied Powers. This support was crucial in enabling Austria-Hungary to pursue its aggressive policies, ultimately leading to the outbreak of the war.
