Why Übereil? The first World War was started in Austria. At the 28. July 1914 with the declaration of war from Austria - Hungary against Serbia. At the 30. July 1914 gave Russia the order to mobilization to help Serbia.
Only as a reaction of this did the german Empire declare russia at the 1. August the war. At the same Day in the evening exceeded russian cavalry the eastprussia Border. And the reason for Germany to step in this war is that the german Empire was allied with Austria-Ungary.
For more Informatation about the first Word War - Wikipedia Maybe the reason that i cant laugh over those "Jokes" is that i am a German. But if you must make such Jokes, i think it is better if you know the real facts.
