It's not like they were the entire reason WWI started or anything..."Entire reason" is a huge stretch. Tension between England and Germany, Russian humiliation from the earlier AH-Serbia conflict of 1909 and the Russo-Japanese war, lingering French humiliation from the German-French conflicts during Germany's Unification, the slow fall of the Ottoman Empire and the proceeding Balkan Wars kicked off by Italy's hostile takeover of Libya, Serbia's rising hostility and support of the Black Hand due to Ferdinand's political views, and Austria taking advantage of his assassination to wipe Serbia from the map.There were dozens of reasons for WWI starting.

Russia's fault.

People said that Second Assault should have been in the launch of BF4, people said the same about China Rising because it was free if you pre-ordered.6 Factions is still twice as many as the BF4 and three times as many as BF3, so I'm not surprised they are using other factions as DLC rather than including all 11 or so at launch.My only raised eyebrow is why they chose to make the frogs DLC rather than the Italians or the knock-off krauts austrians.Bongs, Krauts, Austrians, Italians, Kebabs and Yanks is still a pretty good lineup

The Empire was highly multi-ethnic (hence why it was weakening by the time of WW1: Nationalism), and I hope that is represented in the game by having the Austro-Hungarian soldiers speak a variety of languages. I want to hear an Austrian German dialect (not contemporary standard German Hochdeutsch), Hungarian, Czech, and so forth. That would help to make the Austro-Hungarian Empire feel distinct from the German Empire.
It's called WORLD WAR 1.Yet we only have certain major parts of the war to play with.Lol
I would attribute it to trying to appeal to the US audience (hence why we're seeing a French DLC rather than an American one). Also, the game is apparently set in 1918, explaining why Russia isn't present (Russia withdrew in 1917 because of the Communist Revolution).The maps set in France are based on battles that primarily involved the British.Honestly, I don't care. I enjoy BF a lot, I'm excited for the new game, and people who didn't see this coming are kidding themselves. We already have a lot of factions (compared to the usual U.S. vs. China vs. Russia).

It's taking place around the start of it. At least on some of the maps. Russia just isn't involved in the game so far.

Perhaps we'll get a Serbian faction as well as the Russian faction (although Serbia would be a stretch).
French forces will be premium DLC for Battlefield 1
