Austria-Hungary didn't join the war, they were basically the ones who started it as well as Serbia. On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to throne of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and his wife are assassinated in Sarajevo, Serbia by a secret Serbian organization called the "Black Hand". 7 assassins were sent out to do the job. Austria-Hungary immediately calls war against Serbia, who has an alliance with Russia etc.
