On June 28, 1914, the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist.

On July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia.

On August 2, 1914, the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and Germany sign a secret treaty of alliance.

On August 3, 1914, Germany declares war on France.

On August 4, 1914, Germany invades Belgium, leading Britain to declare war on Germany.

On August 10, 1914 - Austria-Hungary invades Russia.

The conflict that followed these events is called World War I.

An estimated 17 million people were killed; a generation was traumatized, old empires were overturned, and world politics were changed forever. These are some of the reasons that it was referred to by people at that time as 'the war to end all wars'. But unfortunately, that was not true.
