Guys, why not read a few more books/articles about the origins of WW1 before you jump to any conclusions. Get a more balanced picture. Clay Blair's book is only one point of view.

I don't know how you've ended up with this. Who actually declared war on who is not usually a matter of historical interpretation.
It was Germany who declared war on Russia on August 1st and then later on Aug 3rd declared war on France.
