Attempting to bring in their communist world order demanded Soviet to engulf europe. Something that could not happen with a strong Germany. Thus they poisoned it with cultural marxism, created the Weimar degeneracy and tried to finish the job. As they always do, look at life right now and tell me we are not near peak-Weimar.

Um... Desu. Technically its was the Imperial German Government responsible for Soviet Russia.

>austria started it!

they were functionally satellites of the germans

yes, they had hawkish elements and retards and sometimes people who were both (looking at you conrad) but they only dropped their ultimatum on serbia because they asked germany for the game plan first. germany said "go fucking ham let's fuck these guys up," not because they figured russia would back down, but because they figured they had to fight a war now before the entente became too strong.

tl;dr Germany was dictating foreign policy to A-H, ergo Germany did it.

p.s. serbia deserved SOME kind of fallout for straight-up killing the heir apparent of another country

The Ottomans were turbos jews who thought that they could get their massive foreign debt (60% of which was owed to France) canceled.

They had war declared on them for the same reason Japan did, they lauched a naval attack on Russia in the black sea without any formal decleration.

The Ottoman navy was ordered by enver Pasha to fire upon the Russians, causing the Russians to declare war on them. The Germans supported them of course, picking up another ally is never a bad thing, but the operation was masterminded by Enver pasha, though without consent by the rest of the Ottoman government.

when did this dictating of foreign policy take place? Austria-Hungary wanted to invade Serbia but was afraid Russia would intervene. FJ rand to Wilhelm who said that Germany would assist AH if Russia intervened. Wilhelm was an idiot who merely wanted to strengthen the bond between AH and Germany. he didn't think AH would actually declare war, and believed that if they did, Russia would intimated by Germany and not intervene. But it was the Austrians who declared war and were pushing for the whole thing, Germany had no interest in Serbia.

Everyone was responsible. Competition among European nations were at a all time high. Allies were made by who was the best traders that contributed best for the nation's economy. Nationalism was at a all time high. Industrial revolution lifted off, which led to an arms race. Imperialism and colonialism was a factor in which European nation could conquer the world first and most efficiently. Zionist Bankers saw this as an opportunity to instigate war and profit from it. Americans also saw this as an opportunity to sell arms to England for profit. It was a volcano ready to erupt.

But had the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand not have happened, then it could have been avoided, or at least delayed.

Pretty much everyone was just ready for a good fight. There really wasn't one power that was indisputably at fault in terms of the big picture. Sometimes people like to argue that Germany was at fault for so strongly backing AH, but that's looking at things too narrowly. If it wasn't that particular crisis, it would have been another.

>>3080185
Every continent was involved when just France was involved to.

>>3076025
While you're probably memeing there is some truth because Japan's defeat of Russia showed it as weak to places like Germany and AH and also because of Russia's loss and loss on influence in the Far East Russia returned to the Balkans to influence bringing it into conflict with Austria.
