Answer:

I think the event that extended the war was when Russia declared war on Austria-Hungary as a sign of friendship to Serbia. Germany then declares war on Russia as a sign of friendship to Austria-Hungary. France as a sign of friendship then declares war on Germany. Britain as a sign of friendship declares war on Germany when they invaded their ally, Belgium.
