How did Austrians government react to the assassination of archduke Francis Ferdinand
Leaders were already boiling for a fight, so they just used his death as an excuse to attack each other.
he was assassinated in sarajevo in 1914 along with his driver and pregnant wife Sophie by a group of assassins from the black hand, this was only the trigger that set of the war there were so many causes such as countries wanting to expand, and even defeat Germany, hope this helps
