A number of alliances involving European powers, the Ottoman Empire, Russia and other parties had existed for years, but political instability in the Balkans(particularly Bosnia, Serbia and Herzeg...
Because mighty Russia supported Serbia, Austria-Hungary waited to declare war until its leaders received assurance from German leader Kaiser Wilhelm IIthat Germany would support their cause.

On August 4, 1914, German troops crossed the border into Belgium. ...

Despite that victory, Russia’s assault forced Germany to move two corps from the Western Front to the Eastern, contributing to the German ...
From 1914 to 1916, Russia’s army mounted several offensives on World War I’s Eastern Front but was unable to break through German lines. Defeat on the battlefield, combined with economic instability and the scarcity of food and other essentials, led to mounting discontent among the bulk of Russia’s population, especially the poverty-stricken worker...
