Russia was brought into war because of the same errors of judgement that affected the other great powers of Europe. This included dangerous nationalism, imperial ambitions and rivalries, military overconfidence, and there was too much trust in alliances and not enough in diplomacy. Another reason war was declared because when the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot dead in Sarajevo in June 1914, it triggered a wave of threats, ultimatums and troop mobilisations, and then Serbia was invaded by Austria-Hungary and Russia had declared war in response.
