What was their judgment as to whether this could really have caused WW1?

1. Austria blamed Serbia for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, but did nothing for a month. They needed to be sure of German support, should Russia become involved.

2. The Austrians went to Germany for help - Kaiser Wilhelm promised to support them, whatever they did (the so-called 'blank cheque').

3. The Austrians sent Serbia a ten-point ultimatum, they expected it to be rejected. The Serbians accepted every point but one. Austria invaded Serbia anyway, it had wanted an excuse to crush Serbia.

4. Russia mobilised its army to support Serbia; but this involved mobilising troops against Germany as well as Austria-Hungary. Germany warned it would enter the war if Germany did not halt mobilisation.

5. The Germans were scared by Russia's mobilisation - according to the Schlieffen Plan they had to fight France before Russia. So they invented an excuse and declared war on France anyway.

6. Because the German army went through Belgium, Britain entered the war.
