    Archduke Franz Ferdinand Assassinated. Outbreak of World War One
    On 28 June 1914, Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist,
    assassinated
    the Austrian heir to the throne,
    Archduke Franz Ferdinand
    and his wife Sophie in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo. ... The murder of the royal couple ushered in the so-called July Crisis which ended with the
    outbreak
    of
    war
    in August 1914
    How did the assassination of Ferdinand lead to World War 1?
    The murder of Archduke Franz
    Ferdinand
    outraged Austria-Hungary. ... Austria-Hungary was furious and, with Germany's support, declared
    war
    on Serbia on July 28. Within days, Germany declared
    war
    on Russia—Serbia's ally—and invaded France via Belgium, which then
    caused
    Britain to declare
    war
    on Germany.
