| WW1 started because first Serbia assassinated an ambassador from Austria-Hungary so Austria sent an ultinum on Serbia. Serbia declined the offer because they said we didn't do it the Serbian Nationalist did. Austria got mad because of there offer, so they declared on Serbia. But since Serbia had allies which are Russia, Russia also started to have war with Austria. Austria also had allies which are Germany so instead Germany delcared war against Russia not Serbia because Serbia is a small country. Russia had allies which are France and France had allies which are Britain, So all three of these countries started to have war on Germany. United States later joined there teamed because at first they were neutral but later American ships were sank and American lives were lost so they declared war. So This whole war is WW1. |
