Serbian nationalists were against this as they believed they should be a part of the new independent Serbian nation. The date of his visit, June 28 was the anniversary of the First Battle of Kosovo in 1389, in which medieval Serbia was defeated by the Turks. Despite Serbia not losing its independence until 1448 due to the Second Battle of Kosovo, June 28 was significant to Serbian nationalists. June 28 was also Franz Ferdinand’s wedding anniversary. On June 28, 1914, when Franz Ferdinand and Sophie were touring Sarajevo in an open car, with little security, Serbian nationalist Nedjelko Cabrinovic threw a bomb in their car. The bomb rolled off the back of the vehicle and wounded an officer and some bystanders. It was when they were on their way to visit the injured officer that they were attacked a second time by one of Cabrinovic’s cohorts. The archduke’s driver took a wrong turn at the junction of Appel quay and Franzjosefstrasse, where 19-year-old Gavrilo Princip, happened to be. Princip had ties with the Black Hand which was a secretive military group. Seeing his opportunity, Princip fired into the car, shooting Franz Ferdinand and Sophie at point-blank range. A bystander threw himself upon the young assassin, preventing him from committing suicide. Following this, a mob of angry onlookers attacked Princip. He was wrestled away by the police after fighting back. Meanwhile, Franz Ferdinand and Sophie lay critically injured in their limousine as it rushed to seek help. They both died within the hour. The assassination of Franz-Ferdinand and Sophie caused a rapid chain of events, one of which Austria-Hungary, along with many others around the world, blamed the Serbian government for the attack. They hoped to use the incident as the justification of Slav nationalism (unify

Militarism, the glorification of the military, affected most of Europe at the turn of the twentieth century as demonstrated by Documents 1 and 7. Military spending in three of the major powers in Europe, Great Britain, France, and Germany, more than doubled per capita from 1870 to 1914, according to Document 1. Great Britian and Germany in particular were involved in an arms race with each other. Germany attempted to build a navy to rival Great Britian’s, whose navy was considered the best in the world at the time, and Great Britian responded by improving on their own navy. In the rest of Europe, countries were building up their stores of weapons, including rifles, bombs, and artillery, causing international

To begin with, I believe the assassination was one of the immediate causes for the World War breaking out in July 1914. Firstly, Bosnia was under control of the Austrian-Hungary Empire. However, the Serbs wanted to be free to live together in their own country and to be completely independent of the Austrian-Hungary Empire.

Militarism is one of the causes because war became a regular thing because people were raised to fight, and being a soldier was such a heroic title during the ages of the war. They believed men were born to fight in war from their childhood, and military is in everything that a country does. Britain was the largest empire in the world at that time, holding 20% of the globe and 25% of the world population. Germany was jealous that Britain had built up such a vast empire, so they tried improving the foundations of their military to try to beat out Britain. As Kaiser William II (the leader of the German navy) attempted restoring his troops, Britain quickly took notice to this and better yet upgraded their troops as well, knowing Germany didn 't stand a chance.

There were many minority nations that wanted to establish independence and separate themselves from the mainstream, dominant society. This collective identity and unity that the nations have established caused them to form extreme nationalist ideas and revolt against the more influential people they were controlled by. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand happened due to the severe nationalistic feelings of the Serbs. The Serbs had always wanted to achieve sovereignty and independence from Austria-Hungary. When Franz Ferdinand announced that he will be leaving to Sarajevo to greet the townspeople on June 28, 1914, a terrorist organization called the ‘Black Hand’ had meticulously arranged an attack against Franz Ferdinand.

Serbian nationalism was the most significant contributing factor in the Balkans to the outbreak of the First World War. Nationalist Serbs wanted the unity of Serbdom and to create a Greater Serbia that included the provinces Bosnia and Herzegovina. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand triggered the First World War and was prompted by the nationalism of the Serbs against Hapsburg control. If this trigger did not take place it would have been another event. But it is not surprising that it occurred in the Balkans; a volatile region, as Bismarck had predicted decades before; “ If there is ever another war in Europe, it will come out of some damned silly thin in the Balkans”.

The Balkans included different nationalities such as the Serbs, Croatians and Bosnians, and each wanted independence for their country and they didn’t want to be combined and controlled together, which made it harder to rule. There were also a series of wars between the Balkans and Serbia, and as a result Serbia doubled its size. Additionally, Serbia was now determined to unite all Serbs into a “Greater Serbia”. The growing Serbia was a threat to Austria-Hungary, since it was easier for Serbia to attack Austria-Hungary after Austria-Hungary’s colonization of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which is one of the Slavic groups with Serbia. Moving on, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, with his wife, was visiting the capital of Bosnia to check on army exercises in
