RootsBooster Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I believe the Glaswegian band known as Franz Ferdinand were responsible for WWI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey104 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I blame the police! Well I do know that the assassination of Arch duke Ferdinand of Austria was the act that pushed Europe in to the war following a complex history of political machinations and land grab. However, it was much more complex than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNugget Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 In a nutshell, Archduke nephew was assassinated. Balkan states went to war as a result. Various treaties obligated other countries to defend one another and hey presto...World War. ---------- Post added 12-11-2017 at 12:57 ---------- Or Wikipedia’s version: The trigger for the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, by Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. This set off a diplomatic crisis when Austria-Hungary delivered an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia,[11][12] and entangled international alliances formed over the previous decades were invoked. Within weeks the major powers were at war, and the conflict soon spread around the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
