Chapter 19 Section 1

On June 28, 1914, Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia, by Gavrilo Princip, a nationalist from Serbia. This event ignited tensions that led to the outbreak of World War I, driven by imperialism, militarism, and nationalism as well as a complex web of alliances among European powers. Germany and Austria-Hungary formed the Central Powers, while France, Russia, and Great Britain aligned as the Allies. The war, marked by stagnation and trench warfare, took a toll on nations and reshaped the world order.
