∙ 9y agoAt first, there was not much reaction at all since Francis Ferdinand was not popular, neither with the people nor with the government and court. But Austria let itself be pressured by Germany to take 'steps' against Serbia, considered the force behind the Black Hand organization that had organized the assassination.
These steps took the form of an ultimatum to Serbia that could only be considered a massive encroachment of Serbia's independence. Nevertheless, the Serbians agreed to practically all Austria's demands.
As the ultimatum had only been an excuse to use any refusal on any point by the Serbs as an excuse for war, the Austrians did declare war and invaded Serbia.
Ironically, the Austrians were ill-prepared for war and the Serbs were fighting for their country. The result was that the Austrians were soundly beaten by the Serbs and it would take a long time and a lot of help from the Germans before Austria finally won the war against the Serbs.
