Reasons why Germany joined the war Germany had many reasons to join World War 1. One of those reasons was that the assassination was an example of the Hapsburg's loss of control and if Austria were to decline to Germany's offer, Germany would be completely surrounded by most of their enemy and probably get attacked and it would not be a good situation for Germany.
