Please help :D

Answer 1

Probably because Kaiser Wilhelm declared war on Serbia for killing his relative Duke Franz Ferdinand.

Answer 2

Many historians are unsure which country was most responsibla for the outbreak of war. Germany was responsibal for World War one because germany had given Austria the Blank cheque. This shows that Germany was looking forward to war. Germany had also made the Schlieffen plan whereby they had to pass through Belgium to get to France, crush them then quickly move their army up to the east front to fight Russia. This plan althouh did not work out. Germany was also provoking the British by building their own Navy. Britain disliked this idea because then Germany would get even more power ful. Germany also told Austria-Hungary that both would start a war against Serbia if they would not accept the rules given by austria-hungary. This is why Germany and Austria-Hungary went to war against Serbi.
