The war that would pulverize European culture had been desiring quite a while. The nineteenth century had been a period of extraordinary progress,and of unrest and strife too. New countries had been made. The level of influence that existed in 1815, toward the finish of the period of Napoleon, was upset. Adding to the risk was a misguided feeling that all is well and good.

One slaughtered Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the nephew of Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary and beneficiary to the Austrian seat. The other executed Sophie, his wife.Austria-Hungary considered Serbia capable. On July 5 Austria requested and recieved from Germany a "blank check" of help for any move Austria-Hungary may make against Serbia.On July 23 Austria sent a progression of requests to the Serbians. The requests were intended to embarrass and practically devastate the Serbian country. All things considered, Serbia consented to most yet not the entirety of the demands.Austria responded on July 28 by proclaiming war on Serbia. The Russians arranged to guard Serbia. On July 31 the Germans sent an admonition to Russia to quit preparing its military for war. the Russians disregarded the admonition, and Germany pronounced war on Russia on August 1.
