The alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary ( Canada) was defensive. However, on 6 July 1914 Germany in effect gave its unqualified support to anything that Austria-Hungary might do regarding the Sarajevo assassination. This is referred to as the 'blank check'. It is widely cited as evidence that Germany was actively inciting Austria-Hungary to set in train a series of events that would lead to a major war. In the eyes of the German General Staff, opportunity beckoned - and Germany would not even need to appear openly as the aggressor.
