Final answer:

Great Britain and France declared war on Germany due to Germany's aggressive actions and the fear of German power.

Step-by-step explanation:

Great Britain and France declared war on Germany in response to a chain of events that started with Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia, which triggered Russia to declare war on Austria-Hungary. Germany then declared war on Russia and France, prompting Great Britain to join the war. The main reasons for this declaration were Germany's aggressive actions and the fear of German power.
