BREAKING NEWS!

Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand killed in Sarajevo. Stop. Sending package with information. Stop. Please go through the contents of each package to determine what happened and who is to blame. Stop. Print story as soon as possible. Stop. Good luck detectives. Stop.

Here Ill probably give them the map activity to do, then go over the major alliances and Austria-Hungarys ultimatum and attack on Serbia. 4

Solve the case and report!Your report must include:-Who is the assassin?-What happened?-Is a foreign government involved? (hint: see last 2 paragraphs of doc G)

MobilizationMobilization:

-Organizing army to prepare for war.-Need to get people, weapons, vehicles all ready to go.

Does Mobilization = War?Russia will mobilize slowly, France and Germany can mobilize quickly. Germany is surrounded by enemies, and came up with the Schlieffen Plan to win a potential war.

Schlieffen Plan-Germanys only chance to win 2 front war-Problems?

TimelineAssassination of Franz Ferdinand.Austria-Hungary attacks SerbiaRussia mobilizes. Germany mobilizes and declares war on France and Russia.Germany invades Belgium.Great Britain declares war on Germany.

SoCan one person change history?

And then Europe live happily ever after again.And then Franz Ferdinand died and there was a terrible war.
