Germany was significantly responsible for the outbreak of World War One in 1914. It began in 1870, where France declared war on Prussia, unifying Germany, which led to the events that provoked the First World War. However they were other events that were responsible for the First World War that could not be blamed on Germany entirely.

The road leading to World War One began in 1870, which was the year of the Franco-Prussian War. This War led to the unification of a powerful and dynamic Germany, which threatened, to many great powers, as an unbalance of power in Europe. France was defeated, humiliated and isolated in this war, resulting in Germany obtaining French territory of Alsace-Lorraine. This alone already created tensions between France and Germany, as it was a bitter blow to the French. France was determined to acquire Alsace-Lorraine back (revanchism), and even created an offensive plan, the Plan XVII created by Joffre in 1913, which eventually never came to use due to it neither being financially nor militarily supported. France could not afford another war, yet were still irritated by this defeat, creating great tensions between Germany and France, which may have provoked the First World War.

Austria Hungary was the first country to spark off world war 1 as it declared war on Serbia after the death of archduke Franz Ferdinand.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austria-Hungarian throne was a trigger factor that sparked World War 1. Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sofie were assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist who was part of the Black Hand. Austria-Hungary was outraged by this and with the support from Germany, as declared by the Blank Cheque, declared war on Serbia. Austria-Hungary was the first country to declare war and led to World War 1 as more countries joined in.

The alliance system was made up of 2 groups, the Central Alliance was made of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy and Turkey. The second group was the Allied Powers, Russia, France, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

It was because Germany was Allied with Austria-Hungary that the allied system became hostile. Austria-Hungary was going to attack Serbia and had gotten Germany to help. This caused further complications and the UK became hostile towards Germany.

In June 1914, a Serbian nationalist assassinated Franz and his wife while they were in Sarajevo, Bosnia. This was in protest to Austria-Hungary having control of this region. The killings sparked a chain of events that led to the outbreak of World War I by early August. On June 28, 1919, five years to the day after Franz Ferdinand’s death, Germany and the Allied Powers signed the Treaty of Versailles, officially marking the end of World War I.

Serbia wanted to unite countries led by the Slavs, to create Greater Serbia. There had already been preexisting hostility between Austria Hungary and Serbia, as majority of the population of Austria Hungary were Slavs, who wanted to unite with their Slavic "brothers and sisters" outside of Austria Hungary. Austria Hungary annexed Bosnia Herzegovina, a Slavic country, during the Bosnian crisis. This angered Serbia and humiliated Russia, the "protector" of the Slavic people. In an attempt to exact revenge on Austria, Serbia assassinated the heir of the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the July Crisis. This was the trigger for world war one as Austria Hungary soon declared war on Serbia after the assassination.

The naval race between Germany and Great Britain between 1906 and 1914 created huge friction between both nations and it is seen as one of the causes of World War One. In 1906, Britain launched the first dreadnought – a ship that meant all others were redundant before its awesome fire power.

Russia was the first country to mobilize their army which symbolised that they were declaring war. They even continued to prepare their military while they carried diplomatic negotiations for peaceful solutions to the problem.  These militaristic approaches threatened other countries such as Germany. Mobilization was huge  at the time. This left every other country no option but to mobilize as well because Russia could attack and destroy them all at once if they didn't. Russia pretty much indirectly encouraged other countries to start using military threats and weapons.

Despite some brief war scares, peace always prevailed. Friendly ties between the two began with the 1904 Entente Cordiale, and the British and French were allied against Germany in both World War I and World War II

Germany could not hope to match the Royal Navy in the short term and, in 1910, began to redirect much of its defence spending to the Army. However, the damage to Germany’s relationship with Britain proved irreversible.

Schlieffen Plan, battle plan first proposed in 1905 by Alfred, Graf (count) von Schlieffen, chief of the German general staff, that was designed to allow Germany to wage a successful two-front war. The plan was heavily modified by Schlieffen’s successor, Helmuth von Moltke, prior to and during its implementation in World War I. Moltke’s changes, which included a reduction in the size of the attacking army, were blamed for Germany’s failure to win a quick victory.

After the assassination of franz ferdenand (an Austrian duke and heir to the throne) Austria-Hungary offered an ultimatum to Serbia ,which, in the extent of its demand that the assassins be brought to justice effectively nullified Serbia's sovereignty. Austria-Hungary's expectation was that Serbia would reject the remarkably severe terms of the ultimatum, thereby giving her a pretext for launching a limited war against Serbia. thus causing the large chain of decalrations of war.

The alliance system caused the world war 1 to escalate from a regional conflict into a global war. The conflict first started between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, who allied with Germany and Russia respectively, leading to Germany and Russia to declare war on each other. The conflict then spread across the globe as a complex web of alliances forced more countries into the conflict.

The execution of the Schlieffen Plan led to Britain declaring war on Germany on August 4th, 1914. In 1905, Schlieffen was chief of the German General Staff. ... Schlieffen concluded that a massive and successful surprise attack against France would be enough to put off Britain becoming involved in a continental war.

# data[].attributes.body
In effect, Schlieffen aimed to turn the inescapable reality that Germany would have to fight a two-front war into two one-front wars which it could hope to win. But for the plan to succeed, Germany would have to attack France in such a way as to avoid the heavy fortifications along the Franco-German border.

Germany did not start the war because Russia mobilized the alliance system by saying that they will help protect Serbia. Russia did not need to get involved in the war. If Russia was not concerned about Serbia, it would not have concerned Germany to help Austria.

Austria wanted to start war against Serbia with the help of Germany. Other countries told Austria not to start a war but they put their interests above keeping peace. This lead to other countries being dragged into the war. So not only did Austria start the conflict, they made the war an even bigger issue by getting other countries involved.

The Schlieffen Plan, devised by Germany, was intended to force France into submission and then invade Russia. It didn't work because Russian troops attacked Germany while German troops were busy invading France.

Simply because Germany tried everything, at every turn, to stop the spread of the war. For instance, Germany tried desperately to dissuade Russia from mobilizing. We now know that Russia was the first power to mobilize, even before the Austrian deadline to Serbia had expired.

Also, Germany issued Austria a blank check for military support. It may seem like Germany is at fault considering this piece of evidence but Austria could have refused the offer of the blank check and also the idea of not delaying the war. Despite the fact that Germany provided the ideas and materials needed for war, Austria is to blame because they followed through with it.
