World War I began on July 28, 1914, when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia mobilized in defense of Serbia on July 30, 1914, and Germany declared war on Russia on August 1. Following this, Germany declared war on France on August 3 and invaded Belgium on August 4, prompting Britain to declare war on Germany the same day.
