@BremenThug I'll explain it: The Austrian Prince Franz-Ferdinand and his wife were murdered by a serbian Nationalist at Sarajevo, June 28th 1914. Afterwards Austria wanted to invade Serbia but Serbia was protected by Russia. Russia was a member of the Entente. Together with France and the UK. Austria was allied with Germany. So Austria declared war on Serbia, Russia declared war on Austria, Germany declared war on Russia and France and one day later the UK declared war on Germany.

@BremenThug Italy joined 1915 and the US 1916, both as the Allies of the Entente. And the Ottomans (turks) and Bulgarians supported Germany against Russia. Germany won on the Eastern front because of the socialist revolution while they lost in the west
