From there after Serbia refused to punish the people who had committed this crime, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. One by one each nation became involved. The total number of major countries involved in World War I is Austria-Hungary, Russia Germany, France, Britain, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, United States, and Japan.
