Differing schools of thought, most commonly due to country of origin of said historical work, put the emphasis on different countries.
-
For example most of the English speaking world blamed Germany for the war as neither UK and her colonies nor the US would have entered the war if it weren't for German willfull hostility towards neutral nations.
-
In France the war was blamed on Germany for the German government backing the Austria in it's attempts to destroy Serbia.
-
In Russia the war is blamed more on Austria than anyone as if it weren't for the Austrian invasion of Serbia none of it would have happened.
-
As far as I'm aware Germany blames the war on France backing Russia in its claims to defend the Slav peoples.
-
Austria blames Serbia for it's involvement as they believed the Serb government was behind the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
-
Lastly the Ottomans joined the war due to a group of reformists sending warships to first strike a Russian port.

This leaves out several of the other minor nations who fought for various reasons. Which I could go into if requested. Some examples would be Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Belgium, Japan, or even Brazil.
