The Cause World War 1

World War 1 started when the Arch Duke of Austria was assassinated so then Austria

declared war on Serbia then Russia declared war on on Austria then Germany declared war on

Russia but if they sent all their troops to Russia they would be vulnerable on the other side so

they declared war on France as-well but to get to France they had to march through Belgium but the English were friends with Belgium so the

English helped the French and joined the Allies.

Weapons (Rifles)
