    It was also that the Austrias annexed Bosnia kinda illegally, which major pissed off the Serbian population. Pan-Slavism was all the rage back then, so the crumbling K.u.k was already on edge ditto with germany who feared an industrializing russia (unfounded since most of the russian industry was owned by british/french capitalists).

      Arguably they caused an industrialized Russia by Russia's loss to them (and them putting Lenin on a train back to Russia) leading to the creation of the Soviet Union. Which then became the main reason Germany lost the second time.
