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.
