World War 1 in class questions

1. In my research I found out that WW1 broke out due to a lot of tension in Europe that had been going on for several years.  Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated which really started the war. Austria Hungary declared war on Serbia. The US, Great Britian, France, Russia, Belgium, Italy, Japan and others were against Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. 
2. The US got involved in WW1 on April 6, 1917 when they declared war on Germany. The US got involved because Russia was ready to leave the war so the US took their place.
