The main aggressor in World War I was in fact D. Austria-Hungary. While the Treaty of Versailles would eventually force Germany to take the blame, it was Austria-Hungary who declared war on Serbia after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. That declaration drew Russia in on the side of Serbia, which then forced Germany to declare war on Russia and ally with Austria-Hungary.
