In April 1914, Germany did not launch a surprise invasion of a neutral country; rather, the significant events leading to World War I began in June 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. Following this, Germany's involvement escalated due to its alliance with Austria-Hungary, leading to declarations of war against Russia and France in August 1914. The invasion of Belgium, a neutral country, occurred shortly after, as Germany sought to execute its Schlieffen Plan to quickly defeat France. This invasion drew Britain into the conflict, marking the full onset of World War I.
