In need of a spark “The great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans.” Otto von Bismarck, 1888

The Spark: An Assassination “The powder keg of Europe” Area with long history of nationalist uprisings Serbia’s Slavic population wanted to establish their own state and take over Bosnia Austria-Hungary controlled Bosnia June 1914: Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, gunned down by a Serbian radical The Archduke is assassinated in Sarajevo in June 1914

Immediate Cause of World War I: Assassination Gavrilo Princip? Who?? –Serbian assassin with strong feelings of Nationalism This starts a war?! –Countries unable to solve problems through diplomacy –Alliances called into play!
