The immediate cause was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. But how could one assassination had such far-reaching consequences because the victim was heir presumptive to the thrones of Austria and Hungary. His assassin, Gavrillo Prinzip, a young Serbian student, shot him to death as he rode through Sarajevo. Prinzip's motive, even at this late date, is a question largely undetermined. But from this incident stemmed a train of events that had the whole world embroiled in war within a few short weeks.
The Austro-Hungarian government made demands upon the government of Serbia. The Great Powers—Russia, France, Germany, Great Britain—found themselves unable or unwilling to act for prevention of a general European war. Instead, all the latent forces that had been gathering for decades and even centuries seemed to have found an outlet. The result—war! The first World war was a holocaust that scorched and charred most of the nations of the world.
