Nige...Hate to contradict an ally in the plight. Though German troops DID invade Belgium on the 4th, and Great Britain and France did respond with declarations of war, the broadly accepted "beginning of Great War" didn't involve any of those nation. Rather, Austria's declaration of war on Serbia on July 28, 1914, is the date most historians ascribe as the "beginning of the Great War ("European War," "War to End all Wars," "World War I"...whichever vernacular you choose, it's all the same war!).
See NY Times, July 28, 1914:

Subject: [MV] 90 years ago today
The Great war started.......
Just seen an interiview with two spritely vets ( 108 and the other a mere
106) who both commented " they didnt learn did they........"
And 60 years ago tommorow, the fighting literally around my house here in
Normandy started and for the next week the British 11th Armoured fought a
horrendous battle for control of the Vire -|Vassy road against the Nazis,
including 10th SS Panzer.
