Answer:

The Russian tsar believed his empire was protected by God and by a 1.5 million men army. This nationalist view made Russian leaders believed they had power over the smaller nations of western Europe. On the other side, the Austro-Hungarian empire showed its nationalism when it declared a war because of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
