Black Check meant to Austria Hungary. That’s why Austria Hungary took advantage and thought they will win against Serbia because they had all the support from Germany. Austria Hungary felted powerful for having Germany on its side and did what they pleased without any restriction. Germany opened the doors leading to war and didn’t gave Austria Hungary restrictions on the Blank Check. The ultimatum is another reason why Germany is held responsible for the outbreak of war world I.
The ultimatum was written by Berchtold and send to Serbia. The ultimatum was harsh and was made to reject. Meaning that Berchtold made it harsh because he knew that Serbia will reject it. After the ultimatum was send Austria Hungary declared war on Serbia. Germany gave all the support to Austria and they didn’t have the thought that Russia was getting involved. Russia have gotten involved because they were a big brother to Serbia. Sazonov the foreign minister of Russia declared partial mobilizations. Mobilization meaning the act of mobilizing their military, moving into war. Germany is responsible for the outbreak of war world I because they were supporting Austria Hungary against Serbia. t was not fair and that’s why Russia allied with Serbia, defended Serbia, and mobilized first. Germany was the reason why Russia have gotten
involved. The Schiefflen plan was when Germany wanted to attack the capital of France by going through Belgium. Belgium was a neutral country meaning they didn’t take sides. Germany asked Belgium for permission to go through and Belgium said no. Germany did not obey their answer and did not respect their territory. Germany intruded into Belgium and because of that reason United Kingdom defended Belgium. War began on August 4 when Great Britain joined France and declared war on Germany. Germany is responsible for the outbreak of war world I because they were intruders to other countries and they wanted to attack France and had no reason why to do so. As it is clearly seen Germany is responsible for the outbreak of war world I because of the events that lead to war world I. Such as the Blank Check, the ultimatum, and the Schiefflen plan. Germany did not fully explain what did the Blank Check meant to Austria Hungary, drove Russia into getting involved, and were intruders to other countries. Therefore It is completely valid to blame Germany for the outbreak of war world I.
