Austria In The War

After Austria's declaration of war on Serbia, Russia announced full mobilization of their armed forces, being Serbia's allies. Germany then declared war on Russia, France and Belgium. War was also declared on Russia by Austria followed by Britain and France declaring war on Austria.
So the start of this all was when the heir of the Austro-Hungarian heir and his wife were assassinated, there were accusations and war broke out. Allies joined allies and most of Europe was involved.
Austria was not prepared for such a long and costly war and their economic situation grows more precarious as it goes on. Last year when their Emperor Franz Joseph died, and his grand-nephew took place as emperor. But Austria's fate is now hinged on the outcome of the war, not its monarchy. But America has joined the war and who knows how it all will end, or if it ever will.
