Question

What did Russia do to provoke WW1 I REALLY NEED HELP

... also france and Great Britian if you can think of anything

Answer 1

Russia was as close to blameless as anyone, actually. They were bound by treaty to protect Serbia, but they also used their influence with Serbia to pressure them to negotiate with Austria Hungary. A-H presented Serbia with a list of demands so outrageous that it had no expectation Serbia would agree to them, as they were determined to go to war. But under Russian pressure Serbia agreed to almost all of the demands, while still making it clear that if A-H did attack Serbia, Russia would go to war. This approach would have worked except that Germany, also anxious to go to war, gave A-H a "blank check" guarantee that Germany would support them no matter what.

Answer 2

Well, in the environment of alliances, Russia was aligned to Serbia. Serbia was being threatened through an ultimatum from Austria-Hungary following the assassination of Austrian Archduke Frans Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist. Russia began to mobilize their troops to support their ally, Serbia in the conflict against A-H. Germany was allied with A-H and was alarmed when Russia began to mobilize and issued them an ultimatum to back down. When Russia didn't comply, Germany invaded France through Belgium. Why France? France and Russia were also allied and thus, Germany's only war plan, the Schlieffen Plan, called for invading France before turning to Russia.

So, yes, in a sense Russia provoked WW1 but it was much more complex than that. It was just one factor amongst many.

Britain got involved due to its membership in the Triple Entente (France, Britain, Russia0 and through the entreaties of France to come to her aid.

Answer 3

Russia, France and Great Britain made up the Triple Entente (an alliance) while Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary made up the Triple Alliance.

There were also secret alliances and neutrality agreements between various countries mentioned above=a lot of mass confusion and backstabbing.

All it was going to take to get all of these countries into an all out war was a single incident; Austria's Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination by Serbian rebels.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Other than promising to support Serbia, than ordering partial than full mobilization of her armed forces, Russia did not provoke Germany or Austria into fighting a war.

Answer 5

Russia promised to support Serbia if Austria-Hungary retaliated for the assassination of the Austrian heir-to-the-throne by a Serbian nationalist. Had Russia not promised such support to Serbia, Germany would not have felt it necessary to stand so firmly behind Austria-Hungary.

France and Great Britain did less to provoke WWI, Great Britain only entered the war after German forces invaded Belgium en route to an invasion of France.

However, by commiting to such entangling alliances, it's fair to say all had their part in provoking war, though Serbian anarchists and radical nationalists, along with an uncompromising Austro-Hungarian position, bears the initial responsibility for the war. The other powers only turned a regional conflict into a pan-European (and pan-world) war.

Answer 6

Russia mobilized it's troops. Hardly a provocation to war unless your country is Germany or Israel.
Given the web of alliances just before the war, one of the few advantages Germany had was a developed system of rail, one that would allow it to mobilize quicker than any of it's enemies. When Russia mobilized, it was neutralizing what Germany saw as its edge, its advantage of time. So Germany attacked rather than waiting for Russia to be in position to attack.

Answer 7

As Edward VII and George V had no means, what's the super piece of the puzzle, there's no longer one there, it substitute into Earl gray (a passionate Pacifist now there is irony) the distant places Secretary who took Britain into the conflict The Kaiser needed the conflict, the Tsar did no longer, in simple terms because of the fact a kinfolk are close does not propose a element. additionally it substitute into began via the Austrians and it wasn't the Arch Duke who needed the conflict it substitute into court officers who have been hell bent on it, there substitute right into a coterie in the court who extra or much less drove Austria/Hungary into having a spat with the Bosnian Serbs they have been the authentic conflict mongers. additionally WW1 substitute into inevitable, because it have been brewing with an palms race and Germany no longer having any Empire, and resenting Britain having one. additionally Germany actual theory Britain did no longer understand a thank you to run Empire, and with their 3.5 million Troops they'd do the activity extra valuable, the German severe command spoke of Britain's a hundred,000 military (that substitute into used for working the whole ot he Empire outdoors India) as that Contemptible little military. the reality of direction being that Britain substitute into the only State who did understand a thank you to run Empire, for this reason why we had certainly one of those small military, we did no longer choose a extensive one, and the place there substitute right into a extensive military, as in India, it substitute into in particular community Sepoys, to guard the borders. The Royal kinfolk's have been already oftentimes beside the point with regradrs to means, this is in simple terms that Britain substitute into the only State who realised this. Russia might learn the complicated way. As actual so did Germany.
