Gavrilo Princip speaking at his trial
“I am a Nationalist.
As far as Serbia is concerned, it is her duty to free us.”
Gavrilo Princip speaking at his trial
Gavrilo Princip was from Serbia. There were five other
assassins with Princip. They were all Serbians too. The
assassins wanted Serbia to help the smaller states within
Austria-Hungary break free, to show Austria-Hungary that they
should not control people who wanted their independence.

Gavrilo Princip speaking at his trial
Why may Austria-Hungary blame Serbia for the murder of the
Archduke?
If you were from Austria-Hungary what might you think Serbia was
trying to do?

“The greatest catastrophe that has ever befallen
the Continent of Europe.”Sir Edward Grey, British Foreign Secretary, July, 1914
After the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo in June 1914 , people around the world waited for the Austrian response that they knew could plunge Europe into war.

* Austria declared war on Serbia on the 28th July, 1914.* Russia came to the aid of its ally Serbia by declaring war on Austria. * Germany helped its ally Austria by declaring war on Russia and then attacking Russia’s ally – France. She also later marched through Belgium when attacking France’s northern border.* Great Britain was an ally of France and had also promised to protect Belgium if she were ever attacked. Britain declared war on Germany on the
4th August, 1914.
Will Austria Strike Today?
Alarming Reports from Paris.
Sir E. Grey’s Plan for Mediation.
Germany’s Unwillingness to Take Part.
A much more hopeful feeling prevailed on Monday in connection
with the Austro-Serbian quarrel, but news was received at an early
hour this morning of an alarming nature, which threatens to undo
the peace making efforts of Sir E. Grey.
Austria has, it is stated from two sources, completed preparations
to attack Serbia today.
The Western Mail, Tuesday, July 28, 1914
Should she do so, it is expected that Russia would at once come to
the aid of Serbia, and thus would be precipitated what the British
Foreign Secretary on Monday described as the “greatest
catastrophe that has ever befallen the Continent of Europe.”
Sir Edward Grey announced in the House of Commons on Monday
that he had proposed a conference in London between himself and
the Ambassadors of the Four Powers not directly interested in the
question – with the view to arranging a settlement.
France and Italy have assented to this course, but Germany appears
unwilling to adopt the proposed plan, holding as the ally of Austria
she cannot do so except at Austria’s request.
The Western Mail, Tuesday, July 28, 1914
The Western Mail, Tuesday, July 28, 1914
The Foreign Secretary regarded Serbia’s reply to the Austrian
ultimatum as providing the basis of a settlement, but it is
significant that Austria has gone to pains to prove that it is
insincere and evasive.
