Germany took sides with Austro-Hungarian and Russia took sides with Serbia. Then because Russia took sides with Serbia Germany declared war with Russia on August 1, 1914.

They thought that military elites and aristocracy had a lot of control over Germany, Russia, and Austria, to much. So that the war happened because they wanted power of the military and they had hate for democracy.
