Best Answer

In the 1880s, Otto Von Bismarck, a Germany diplomat, said "The next war will be started by some darn foolish thing in the Balkans." Franz was shot in the Balkans and started the next war. There were many other factors that lead to the war, but the archdukes death was the final straw that set Austria-Hungary off against Serbia and the war began.
