Powder keg. There were many tensions and interconected problems in the Balkans, the most notable being the Serbian terrorist group, the Black Hand. There was also the contributing factors of alliances, the arms race, imperillisim, etc. The assasination of the Archduke Ferdinand was the "spark" that set off this "powder keg", causing the chain reaction that threw the whole world into war.
