During World War I, Russia and Germany were adversaries due to a complex web of alliances and national interests. Russia supported Serbia following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which was viewed as a direct threat by Germany, an ally of Austria-Hungary. Additionally, Russia's desire to expand its influence in Eastern Europe clashed with Germany's ambitions, leading to increased tensions. This animosity was further fueled by nationalistic sentiments and military mobilizations that drew both nations into the war.
