Causes of WW1

The Spark: Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Prince of Austria-Hungary Archduke + wife Sophie

June 28, 1914 Archduke Ferdinand + wife Sophie assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia

Why? Archduke’s visit to Bosnia was controversial Bosnia > part of Austro-Hungarian Empire neighbouring Serbia claimed it as part of “Greater Serbia”, b/c many Bosnians considered themselves Serbian killer: Gavrillo Princip, a Serbian nationalist of the Black Hand

Militarism (con’t) all countries were trying to maintain the balance of power: remain equal strength in military and alliances to competition (“keeping up with the Jones’ mentality”) eg: Germany and Britain Navy competition - building up their Navy competing against one another by both BRIT + GER had MANY warships.
