The assassination of Arch Duke Francis Ferdinand by a radical group called the Black Hand. WWI kicked off on June 28, 1914 and ended Nov 11, 1918. America jumped into the war after a German sub sunk the curse ship the Lusitania. The Germans did warn Americans to stay off of non American cruse ships. They even went as far as putting adds in some of the major newspapers. The Lusitania sunk rapidly because it was actually smuggling weapons of war to Brittan. So many lives wouldn't have been lost, arguably, if the ship were not carrying such weapons.
