What circumstances might have induced the German emperor to pledge to "faithfully stand by" Austria-Hungary and its emperor?

On July 5th, 1914 Germany pledged faithfully to stand by Austria-Hungary, also called a Blank Check. This was a major event of WWI and a huge error by Germany. They pledged to back any action taken by Austria-Hungary regarding Serbia.

One consequence that might have induced Germany to give the blank check was that Emperor Franz Josef defended that the only way to balance power in the Balkans was to punish Serbia, which was pictured as a major threat to the Empire. Franz Josef also pictured Russia’s economic policy as a threat to the German Empire.

thats all i can with. sorry. next time post the full question.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
