In response to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia, Russia mobilized its army to support Serbia, viewing itself as a protector of Slavic nations. This mobilization was seen as a direct threat by Germany, which had promised to support Austria-Hungary. Consequently, Germany declared war on Russia on August 1, 1914, as part of its strategy to engage in a two-front war against both Russia and France, escalating the conflict into World War I. This chain of events intensified tensions in Europe and drew multiple nations into the war.

Is it possible to say who won World War 1?

Technically, Serbia. However WWI is widely referred to by Historians as 'The War Nobody Won'. Austria declaring war on Serbia, the Serbs’ allies Russia declaring war on Austria, the Austrians’ allies Germany declaring war on Russia and the Russian’s allies France and Britain declaring war on Germany. America eventually entered on the side of Serbia et al due to a few incidents with German U-boats and Germany surrendered. If you work backwards operating under the system of official declarations via the various alliances the winner is Serbia (whose country was mostly pounded into gravel in the process) and their allies: Russia, France, and Great Britain.
