If you try to nail it down to a specific definition, you'll wind up in contradictions. English doesn't work like that; when I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean, no more and no less.

Since the reader has no way of telling what definition you happen to choose for each of those words - as any explanation is itself made using other undecipherable words - communication is impossible.
I have therefore decided to assume you are declaring war on Austria.

And thus, the first world war.

No. Not if both parties don't agree on a common definition, one party can "move the goalposts".
It could mean A one day and then B another. Look at all the trouble with TLAs.
Doubleplusgood, fine sir. Doubleminusgood on the language opressors!
