• The Berlin Conference (1885) was about colonizing Africa, not related to Germany declaring war on Allies.
• When Russia mobilized forces on Germany’s eastern borders, Germany saw it as a threat and declared war, which led to conflict with Allies.
• Great Britain declaring war on Germany is a response, not the cause of Germany’s declaration.
