Russia was a country that had a lot of Slavic people. Serbia was also a Slavic nation.

What actually happened in the Bosnian Crisis:The Bosnian Crisis was happened in 1908.Austria- Hungary was a multi- national empire. Itwas afraid that Serbia would become too powerful and encouraged Slavs in its empire to fight for independence so it annezed the Bosnian- Herzegovina where the population were mostly Slavs to prevent Serbia from occupying these two places. Serbia asked for helps from Russia. As being a Slavic- sate, Russia agreed to help and called a confernece over Bosian Crisis. But Asutria- Hungary refused to attend the conference. Germany asked Russia not to back Serbia. In order to avoid war. both Serbia and Russia backed down and allowed Austria- ungary to annex Bosnian- Herzegovina. This further worsened relationship between Serbia and Austria- Hungary.
Russia helped Serbia when Serbia had rebelled
Germany, Austria/Hungary, and Italy by the Triple Alliance!!
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 was compelled to aid Serbia against Australia.
No, Serbia was not part of Russia during World War 1. Serbia was an independent country that was allied with Russia during the war.
b :)
Russia considered itself "Protector of the Slavic People," and the Serbs were Slavic. Thus, Russia felt an obligation to help. Of course, this reason was probably simply the propaganda reason (i.e., the reason the Tsar told his people they needed to come to Serbia's aid).
This has been asked already but we will say it again: - England - France - Russia - Serbia - U.S. (joined in 1918)
