In 1914, the mobilization of a nation's army primarily referred to the preparations and deployment of military forces in response to rising tensions in Europe, particularly following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. Major powers like Germany, Russia, and France began mobilizing their armies in accordance with established plans, such as Germany's Schlieffen Plan, which aimed for a quick victory over France before turning to confront Russia. This rapid mobilization contributed to the escalation of conflicts that ultimately led to the outbreak of World War I.

Leading up to World War I, Czar Nicholas II of Russia ordered a partial mobilization of the Russian army against Russia-Hungary. (Mobilization is the process of assembling troops and supplies and making them ready for war.) In 1914, mobilization was considered an act of war. The leaders of the Russian army informed the czar that partially mobilizing would create confusion among the armies because the war was to be against Austria-Hungary and Germany. The czar changed his orders, ordering for a full mobilization on July 29, 1914. The Germans reacted quickly, notifying the Russians that they must stop their mobilization within 12 hours. Germany called a two-front war with France and Russia. On August 4th, Great Britain declared war on Germany for violation of the neutrality of Belgium. By August 4th, all of the great European powers were at war.
Czar Nicholas II ordered full mobilization of the Russian army on July 29, 1914, in response to the escalating tensions following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. Russia aimed to support its Slavic ally, Serbia, which was facing aggression from Austria-Hungary. The mobilization was seen as a necessary step to demonstrate Russia's commitment to defending Serbia and to deter further military action by Austria-Hungary, but it ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War I. This decision also reflected the broader entanglements of alliances and nationalistic fervor in Europe at the time.
On September 17, 1939 the French army completed its mobilization and concentration of forces in preparation for its war with Germany.
