Kaiser Wilhelm II reviews his troops.

With the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28th 1914 by a Serbian terrorist it was clear that these Serbians had to be taught a lesson. The Austrian-Hungarian Empire under rule of the aging Franz Joseph I gave these Slavic pests as most Austrians where calling them now a ultimatum to accept or war would be declared. Whilst the Diplomats where 'fully engaged in a cockfight with fancy words thrown at one another' one German military official said, more pressing matters where developing in the field as Russia was mobilizing to help Serbia if it came under attack by our ally the Austria-Hungarians so the Kaiser ordered the German armies to prepare and mobilize as well for war against Russia.
