Even though Austria-Hungary started the war, the majority of the blame fell to Germany. The German government either had to pay a fantastic amount of money to the United Nations, or have their country invaded.

The joined their ally, Austria-Hungary, in war against Serbia, after the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Serbia's rejection of the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum. This ultimatum would have basically put Hungary in charge of the Serbian government, an act of imperialism. The alliances between Austria-Hungary, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire, as well as the Russian, French, and British alliance, later followed by the United States, allowed this to become a full scale world war. Nationalism played a big part in starting WW1, as the Serbian Terrorists who killed the archduke wee in favor of Serbian nationalism and against Austro-Hungarian influence.
