The Serbian government must take steps to wipe out terrorist organizations
within its borders, suppress anti-Austrian propaganda and accept an independent
investigation by the Austro-Hungarian government into Franz Ferdinand's

To protect Austria, Germany declared war on Russia and then attacked Russia's ally, France. However to attack France, Germany had to go through Belgium which violated belgian neutrality.Therefore it brought Great Britain into the war as well. Thus creating the begining of World War I.
