Significant events that sparked WWI...
• Austrian officials saw nationalist minority groups as threat to monarch & the assassination as an opportunity to crush Serbian-sponsored movement in Bosnia… (justification to take action. )
• Austria-Hungary dispatched an “ultimatum” that Serbia couldn’t accept in 48 Hours.
• Serb military mobilizes and so does Austria• Austria declares war (given the support from
Germany)• Germany then issues ultimatum to Russia demanding
cessation of military measures against A-H; Russia doesn’t respect it and thus Germany declares war.
