During World War II, Austria-Hungary no longer existed as it was dissolved after World War I in 1918. Instead, the region of Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938, while Serbia was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which was invaded by Axis powers, including Germany. Thus, the opposing sides could be framed as Nazi Germany and its allies against Serbia and the Yugoslav resistance. The conflict involved complex alliances and shifting national boundaries resulting from the tumultuous interwar period.
Austria-Hungary and Serbia

Germany declared war on Russia on 1 Aug 1914 Canada, France, Russia, Belgium, and the UK were all in a state of war with Germany, A-H within 2 weeks. Italy, Greece, Turkey and the USA entered the war somewhat later.
After archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, Austria Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia then came to Serbia's aid because of an alliance and declared war on Austria Hungary. Germany declared war on Russia because of its alliance with Austria Hungary. Britain declared war on Germany because of its alliance with Russia. Other countries such as France and the Ottoman Empire soon chose sides and World War 1 began
Well Archduke Franz Ferdinand was part of the Austro-Hungarian Royal family and Austria-Hungary suspected Serbia of plotting to kill him so Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. The Russian Empire was allied with Serbia so it declared war on Austria-Hungary, then Germany, which was allied to Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia. Great Britain and France were allied with Russia and promptly declared war on Germany and Austria-Hungary. Through the next few years a couple of other countries, like the Ottoman Empire, Italy, and Japan joined the war on their respective sides.
WW1 actually started as a conflict between the small country of Serbia and Austria-Hungary because Serbia supported the assasination of the Archduke or Austria-Hungary. Because Serbia was in an alliance with Britain, it had an obligation to enter the war, along with many other countries that entered on both sides of the intricate system of alliances that made up Europe and caused World War 1.

Germany,Austria-Hungary and Italy actually Germany and Austria- Hungary made an alliance with Italy to prevent Italy from taking sides with Russia
It was a terrorist organisation in Serbia known as 'The Black Hand'. They shot the Austria-Hungary leader and his wife. Austria-Hungary demanded that Serbia hand over the black hand but Serbia had no idea about them. Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia. Russia then declared war on Austria-Hungary as it promised to defend Serbia. Germany then declared war on Russia. Then Germany declared war on France as part as their Schlieffen plan. They wanted to wipe out France quickly and only have to concentrate on Russia. They marched through neutral Belgium and made Great Britain and France declare war on Germany.Extra details:Japan said it was on Britain's side but just stayed there and didn't do much.Italy was originally on Germany's side but changes sides when they see the loosing odds.Russia gets knocked out, gets back up and wakes up with a complete personality change (turn communist).America waited until Germany was about to fall then comes over, whacks Germany over the head with a barstool , then says it won the war all by itself. (even though it clearly did not)
