Document #3 This is an excerpt from the Austro-Hungarian

Red Book #7. It is the ultimatum that Austria-Hungary sent to Serbia on July 23, 1914.

“ …the Royal Serbian Government has done nothing to repress these movements. It has permitted the criminal machinations of various societies and associations directed against the Monarchy, and has tolerated unrestrained language on the part of the press, the glorification of the perpetrators of outrages and the participation of officers and functionaries in subversive agitation….”

“…[the] Royal Government see themselves compelled to demand from the Royal Serbian Government a formal assurance that they condemn this dangerous propaganda against the Monarchy….”

“…To accept the collaboration in Serbia of representatives of the Austro-Hungarian Government for the suppression of the subversive movement…”

Austria-Hungary gives Serbia an ultimatum then declares war

Russia mobilizes its army to support its ally Serbia

Germany declares war on Russia and its ally France in response to Russia’s mobilization

and to support Austria-Hungary

Great Britain declares war on Germany to support its allies France and Russia
