Love Triangle Austria liked Bosnia and wanted him to be her boyfriend. Serbia also liked Bosnia. Serbia and Bosnia were old friends – they had a lot in common and he lived right next door! Serbia decided to get Austria out of the way by spreading rumors and starting trouble. Then, Serbia would have Bosnia all to herself. Austria got really mad and told Serbia to stop causing trouble or else! Serbia did not tell Austria what she wanted to hear. So, Austria declared war on Serbia! Then, the rest of the school got involved. It turned into a big mess!!

Replace the words in your story with: him = it her boyfriend = part of its empire he lived = it was spreading rumors = assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand herself = itself told Serbia = issued the Austrian Ultimatum she = it the school = Europe got involved = picked sides mess = war

The “Great War” Austria declared war on Serbia … and Russia declared war on Austria-Hungary…then Germany and France got involved …and then Great Britain entered the war when Germany tried to invade France… Like a snowball rolling downhill, European alliances dragged most of the continent into “the Great War”
