Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Although there had been various problems between the big powers, but the war did not start until 1914. The event that triggered the war was the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He was the heir of the Austro Hungarian Empire and was assassinated by a Serbian national. As a result of this, Austro Hungarian Empire declared war against Serbia and many other countries became its allies. On the other hand, Serbia was supported by Russia and they also formed an alliance to help Serbia. As a result of this, more and more nations joined the war.
