They used the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand as an excuse to end the conflicts they had been faced with by Serbia in the Balkans (ex Pig Wars, nationalism within Austria-Hungary). They really wanted to go to war with them because they thought that with Germany as an ally, they could easily defeat Serbia and discourage the raging nationalism threatening to tear Austria-Hungary apart (as demonstrated in the 1848 Revolutions and the Budapest Uprisings). But also they wanted to solidify their position as a power now that Germany was unified (1885 or something ... the date slips my mind at the moment) and was becoming a strong power, over powering Austria (seen in the Austro-Prussian War).
