All sounds good Alec. regarding the same dates.. just these events hppened on the same day. For instance , France started the mobilization and Germany declared the war on Russia. Also Germany declared the war on France and attacked the Belgium on the same day. It seems that both are quite important.
So I would make the layout of the list in the way.. just to keep the chronological order.

When did Austria-Hungary send Serbia an ultimatum? 23 July 1914
When did Austria-Hungary declare war on Serbia? 28 July 1914
When did Russia start mobilization to help Serbia? 29 July 1914
When did Germany declare war on Russia? 1 August 1914
When did France start mobilization against Germany? 1 August 1914
When did Germany demand access into Belgium and was refused - August 2 1914
When did Germany declare war on France? 3 August 1914
When did Germany attack Belgium - August 3 1914,
When did Britain declare war on Germany - August 4 1914

Why was Franz Ferdinand killed? Because he wanted to free Bosnia from the control of Austria Hungary.

Alec, the point above is wrong. Franz Ferdinand wasn't killed because he wanted to set Bosnia free from the Austria-Hungary control. The Archduke was a member of the Austrai-Hungary Royal Family. The reason he was killed for, was the Bosnian Serbs' desire to be free people and become the Bosnia a part of Serbia independet country.

So the correct point should be..

Why was Franz Ferdinand killed? Because Bosnian Serbs wanted to free Bosnia from the control of Austria Hungary.

[Wurger]

Now these are OK.

 

[Alecras234]

What can i say about the French and German armies moving from Marne to the battle of Aisne? Am i right in thinking that the germans were pushed north of the Marne and the germans built a trench at Aisne where the French army built a trench aswel?

The Race to the Sea was a line of trenches built across France by german and french troops? why were the trenches made?

 

[Wurger]

The Battle of Asine was the result of the Germa;s defeat at the Marne. The French Army together with the BEF forced German Army to retreat behind the Aisine river at about 70 km east where German soldiers prepared to the defense. They built a line of trenches there. The battle took place on 12–28 September 1914 and ended with the German's loss , so general Joffre ordered to stop the attack. Therefore the French Army and the BEF stopped and digged out their own line of trenches along the German's line. The fierce fights were lasting for two months yet without any advance for both fighting sides. Then the front line stabilized for a many next months.

The Race to the Sea wasn't a line of trenches built across France by german and french troops. The name describes reciprocal attempts by the Franco-British and German armies to envelop the northern flank of the opposing army through the northern France rather than an attempt to advance northwards to the sea. The outflanking attempts resulted in many encounter battles but neither side was able to gain a victory.
