germany issued a/h a blank check: they promised to help them under any circumstances in case of a war (even versus russia who announced protection for the serbians). a/h wouldn't have declared war against 2 powerful nations without germany as ally. besides that the whole population in germany was euphoric and quite happy to engage war.fact is:
russia mobilizied its military after h/a declared war on serbia.
germany issued an ultimatum: revoking of the mobilization. russia didnt do that so germany declared war on russia causing the war to concern the rest of the world.
the 2-nations war before was no ww.
