Key Personalities

Kaiser Whilhem: Emperor of Germany in World War 1. In 1890, he broke ties with Russia, which lead to strong consequences for Germany. Breaking ties with Russia lead to hate between the Germans with the French who were allied with the Russians and Great Britian. Since Germany had to split up and try to defeat them all they ended up losing. Kaiser was the one who pushed most of the Austrians for war and used Franz as his base. Kaiser main goal was to develop a great militaryy system therefore he could not agree with other rulers such as Franz Ferdinand.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand: An independent thinker who focused more on creating alliances than forming a great military system. He was the Archduke of Austria Hungary who got deceased by the black hand and Gavrilo Princip(Serbians). Due to his assassination the Austrian Hungarians found the perfect excuse to declare war on the Serbians. Then the alliances were formed and a whole of events went by. He was considered as probably the only person who might have stopped the war unfortunately, he was killed along with his family.

Czar Nicholas II: He was the absolute monarch of Russia at that time. At war he began the process of mobilising against Germany and Great Britian. However that plan was not going to work because there was going to be no control of the military system in that way. Since he decided to mobilize against the Germans on July 24,1914. In 1914 mobilizing was considered at act of war therefore, the Germans warned the Russians to stop. Russians did not stop mobilizing so the Germans declared war on the Russians. All due because of Czar plans of attack.
