(TL)The Great War, maybe...

A TL I thought through quite well and it is on my favourite time period... World War One.
Assassination at Sarajevo

Archduke Francis Ferdinand was brutally murdered on June 28th by an Austro-Hungarian citizen and Serb Nationalist, Gavrilo Princip. The enraged Austrians sent an ultimatium to Serbia in hopes for an easy gain on territory. Germany also decided to give it's support to Austria.​
"Big Brother" Steps In

Russia considered itself the "Big Brother" of the Slavic Nations and began mobilization against Austria-Hungary and Germany. Since France didn't want to face Germany alone, and they wanted to help an ally of the Entente. Britian makes it known that it is neutral and will step in if there is a threat to another neutral nation.​
Secret Ottoman Alliance

In a secret alliance with Germany, Ottoman Turkey officially declares neutrality. With this move the German Kaiser was slightly angered, but he was able to get the Sultan's cabinent to sign it irregardless, allowing the Ottoman Empire to join the Central Powers.​
Early Western Front

With the Great War off to a start German commanders oddly decide it would be best to wear out the French troops and set up skirmishing posts along Aslace-Lorraine as they set up trenches and forts along German territory. Germans get lucky as the French excpect a German attack and prepare their own defence, then they realize their enemy is doing the same and attacked through Aslace-Lorraine as expected. With more time to prepare than expected, Aslace-Lorraine falls and the French see fierce resistance slowing progress to a halt.​
Early Russian Front

Germany and Austria thought they could wait to send troops to the Eastern front, but Russia began invading East Prussia and sieged Krakow. With historic German territory under invasion, many German people quickly join the German Army to defend their homes. Russia doesn't get very far into Germany before bieng pushed back into Greater Poland.​
Early Balkan Front
Serbia is invaded and nearly gets completely occupied before large resistance takes a heavy toll on Austrian supply lines, although thier capital is taken, they refuse surrender and continue the fight.​

Did you really think this through quite well? This entry doesn't make sense. Why would the Kaiser be 'slightly angered' with the Ottoman's declaring themselves neutral when the two powers apparently agreed to it.
 
Strange to see the United Kingdom going neutral they are allied with France.
It's not in their interest to see a single power become an European hegemony.

Because Ottoman Turkey was an ally of Germany, and the Kaiser would've excpected Turkey to help them. The Kaiser didn't really agree with the Ottoman decsion to be neutral, but accepted it anyways. Then he let the 'SMS Breslau' take haven in Istanbul/Constantinople violating Turkish neutrality forcing(I wouldn't say forcing, but you get the point) them to show they had an alliance with Germany and join the Central Powers.

Britian tried to be neutral in the beginning, only getting in because of the invasion of Belgium. Britian had already declared neutrality and didn't care to turn it's back on that unless they had an excuse(OTL German Invasion of Belgium). I already have a plan to get Britian to enter the war irregardless, I just wanted them to stay out of it(for a little while), and Germany to get invaded for a change. :p
 
The next installment of this TL, for anyone following it.
The Anglo-American Alliance
Many in America wanted to keep out of the World's affairs. Yet still, the American President signed an alliance with a pro-entente member, Great Britian. A large amount of the American people did not support this move, but most discarded it as anything of much importance.

International Scandals
Japan, who has a secret alliance with Britian, meets with German ambassadors in Tokyo to discuss possible Japanese invasion of Outer Manchuria(Russia). During the secret meeting, the British ambassador 'accidently' steps into one of the secret meetings. The British government is outraged that the Japanese went behind their backs. Because of this, Britian withdrew aide from Japan. This also gave Britian an 'excuse' to join the Entente. Even even with the Anglo-American Alliance, the United States Congress denied a declaration of war upon the German and Japanese for a petty incedent as this. With this, the United States broke the Anglo-American treaty, ending some relations with Britian. Since most Americans were pro-neutral or anti-British(German-American/Irish-American), this came as a good thing, allowing Americans to live a little longer in peace. Also, since Britian declared war on Germany, Japan, who was going to join the Central Powers irregardless, declared war upon Britian, Russia, and France.

Explosion of the 'Powder Keg'
Serbia is completely captured by Austro-Hungarian forces, and many begin to bruttally murder Serbs who are suspected, but are really innocent, of bieng against Austria-Hungary. Although this was largely not called for by Austrian Commanders, many Austrian civilians lash out at their government in revolt. Even the Kaiser of Germany tells the Austrian Emperor that if they continue, Austria-Hungary might cease to exist. Also, Romania, an ally of Russia and friend of Serbia, begins preparations for a counterattack against the Austro-Hungarian forces. Romania begins asking for Russian support in this attack, but the Russians decline, as most troops are fighting, or preparing to fight, German troops moving east. Russia still tells Romania to go through with the plan, in hopes to free up some troops. With this, the Central Powers are increasingly keen to get the Balkan nation of Bulgaria to join them. Promising some territorial gains, Bulgaria is convinced to attack Romania and open supply lines to Ottoman Turkey. With all of this, only three Balkan states have yet to enter the war, and one has been completely occupied.

Uprisings and Revolution
Because of the murder of Serbian people, many Non-Austrian citizens of Austria-Hungary rebel against their rule. Eventhough the Austrians stop persecuting Serbian people, rebellions still ensue, causing the Austrian Emperor to attempt to federalize the Empire. Attempts prove somewhat sucsessful, calming some of the peoples but not others.
Russia also faces rebellious people, but instead turns to brute force to eliminate the uprising. This proves to be a horrible idea for the Russians and more people join the Revolution. Although no leader unites them, they have one common goal, to cause a change in the government of Russia. Internationally, Russia doesn't even recognize the rebellion, making the Tsar look like an incompetent ruler to the international community.
