My Informative Essay On How World War One Started

World war one was one of the most catastrophic conflict in history and the first war to involve country’s from around the world from the warm French country side to the frozen wasteland of eastern Russia

On the 28th of June 1914 archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Bosnian-serb Gavrilo Princeps. The assassins were later traced back to a nationalist extremest group called the black hand that was based in Serbia. Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia. { Serbia may have been a part of assassination }.

Austria-Hungary sent many demands to Serbia that simple could not be met by Serbia in which they rejected the demands Austria-Hungary then declared war on Serbia This would cause Russia to declare war on Austria-Hungary. Russia and Serbia were allies before the war.

world war one was avoidable but some countries may have wanted war for they’er own agendas one example is Russia when war broke out they barely tried to negotiate for peace. Germany on the other hand had the power to prevent Austria-Hungary from going to war against Serbia for if they would have cut funding to Austria-Hungary then would have felt less inclined to go to war. Great Britain felt that Germany was challenging they’re dominance in Europe, Great Britain may also saw this as an opportunity to destroy there German rival.
