The Cause of the War was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand who was an Heir of the Austro - Hungarian Throne. He was kinda a Fan of Serbia but the First Assassination Attempt was made by The Serbs. But. They throw their bombs on their Car but they missed and blew up some officers behind them. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was heading towards the Hospital but the Driver took a wrong turn and saw one of the Failed Assassins and Shot the Heir and His Wife.

There were Secret Attempts that Germany and Russia were trying to avoid a War but the Governments of Austria-Hungary refused. Because of that Russia Declared Mobilization which causes the Germans to React to Declare War with Russia.

When Austria Declared War against Serbia, they began Shelling Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

France Joined the War in 1914 because Russia wanted support on the West so Germany can struggle in the Two-Front War. German Developed the Schlieffen Plan, The Plan was to Invade Belgium and Luxembourg and Defeat France in a Large Battle. But Britain was Allied with Belgium, Which was a Problem but they risked it anyway. When They Invaded Belgium. Britain sent an Ultimatum to Germany Demanding to withdraw Belgium. But the Message was Ignored Causing Britain to Declare War on Germany.

The War ended at November 11, 1918.
