Rusia and Germany do not have a common border.
Because they did not trust the Germans as farr as they could throw them. thinking as one Dictatorship about another.
Russia had gone to war with Germany's ally Austria. It was a preventative measure in case Germany joined the war on Austria's side.

Germany mobilized 13.25 million troops in World War 1. Surprisingly this was more than Russia did, but by a small margin. Still, based of Russia's population, one might believe Russia would have had a greater number than Germany.

Actually Germany backed the Austria-Hungarian empire that wanted to attack Serbia because of the assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand. Russia was allied with Serbian Nationals and mobilized their troops against A-H empire. Germany was an ally of the A-H empire and mobilized their troops against Russia. France and Great Britain had an defensive alliance with Russia. They would come to Russia's aid if they were attacked, so they started to mobilize their troops just in case. Germany felt threatened by their mobilization and started to mobilize troops along the border with France. A-H moved on Serbia and Russia attacked A-H empire. Germany then attacked Russia. France and Great Britain honored their treaty with Russia and declared war on the A-H empire and Germany. Germany became the aggressor against France and Great Briton by physically attacking them first. Actually all of this and World War II can be traced back to a Roman Legion that was wiped out in the Rhineland. You will need to do some research to figure that out but it is basically true.
Because the kaiser wouldn't soften their demands
Belgium. The Plan was to defeat France extremely fast to avoid fighting on two fronts, as Germany thought Russia would take a long while to mobilize its troops. However the Plan was a complete failure as it required three things to succeed. Britain couldn't join the war, which they did because Germany needed to invade Belgium in order to attack France. Then they needed speed, but the BEF and Belgiun resistance managed to delay German forces. Lastly, Russia were able to mobilize their troops in time and Germany ended up having to fight a war on two fronts, dividing its forces.
American troops were never sent to Russia. That would have been considered an invasion by Russia if that had happened.
