Germany played the biggest role to promote the outbreak of WWI. They chose to give full military support to Austria-Hungary when their archduke was assassinated by a member of "The Black Hand". The assassination of the archduke as the story goes was on his way to meet someone when the Black Hand had lined up by having someone every 200 feet with a gun and a cyanide pill to take. The first two had missed and gotten taken down. The next two left not wanting to be taken down. The last one went to have a sandwich and the archduke was on his way home when the new driver had taken a wrong turn and went down the cobblestone road that had the last member of the Black Hand and he shot him and then the wife. So that is who had the biggest role and that is what had sparked WWI.
