The Austrian-Hungarian Response • Austria-Hungary wanted to attack Serbia, but was afraid of Russia’s wrath; needs backing of Germany. • With German backing, Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia, July 28, 1914. • World War I begins. • Czar Nicholas II Russia immediately mobilizes to support Serbia. • Mobilization – the process of assembling troops & supplies & making them ready for war. In 1914, this process was considered an act of war.
The Allies Enter • Germany sees Russian mobilization as an act of war against them; warns them to back off. • Russia ignores, Germany declares war on Russia on August 1. • Schlieffen Plan – dual front war • East against Russia • West against France • When France remained allied with Russia, Germany declared war on August 4; moved into Belgium to prepare for attack. • Great Britain declares war on Germany for violating Belgian neutrality
