What is the connection between the carte blanche and World War 1?

I dont know it all but.... 'Carte Blanche' means blank Cheque. And that on July the 14th Austria asked for help from Germany (Kaiser Wilhelm II) by telegram. And Germany replies by saying 'Yes , we'll support you in what ever you do!' This meant that Austria knew that they could do anything they wanted and would always have Germany backing them up.

This could be one of the main causes of the world war. Hope this helps..
