On 25 July Russia began mobilisation and on 28 July, the Austro-Hungarians declared war on Serbia. Germany presented an ultimatum to Russia to demobilise, and when this was refused, declared war on Russia on 1 August.

but even if we take it the way you say it, it is the perfect reason why Germans don't want to be involved by any wars today - especially when they are started for the wrong reasons. Because you want to learn from history - something lots of people out there and on this board are not very good at,
