1914 Mobilization

The 1914 mobilization was the rapid organization and deployment of a country's military forces in response to rising tensions and the outbreak of World War I. It involved preparing armies for war by gathering troops, equipping soldiers, and coordinating logistics, all to ensure readiness for combat. Countries like France, Germany, and Russia moved quickly to mobilize after Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, escalating the conflict. This process was complex, requiring precise planning to ensure armies could move swiftly, but it also heightened tensions, making diplomatic solutions more difficult and pushing nations closer to full-scale war.
