Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia for the assassination. The assassination happened in Bosnia, which was ruled by Austria-Hungary at the time; Bosnian separatists murdered the Archduke with some assistance from Serbian intelligence officials. The Austrian government, of course, found out about this and was not too happy.
The assassination started the diplomatic crisis that led to the outbreak of World War I. The Archduke was the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary; Austria-Hungary blamed Serbians for helping with the assassination. After negotiations and ultimatums failed, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, which set off a chain reaction of alliances that began the World War.

To simplify a complicated chain of events : the Archduke is assassinated, Serbia is held responsible by Austria/Hungary. Russia supports Serbia. Germany supports Austria/Hungary. France supports Russia, & Britain joins in to support France. Turkey joins the central powers. Rumania joins the Allies. Bulgaria joins the central powers. Italy & the US join the Allies.
The assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo was the spark that ignited the tensions and rivalries among European powers. Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia for the assassination and issued an ultimatum, which led to a chain reaction of alliances and military mobilizations. This escalation eventually escalated into a full-scale global war, with countries taking sides and declaring war on each other.
because when archduke was assinated austria-hungary blamed Serbia and so attacked them then Russia being part of a alliance helped them and then all the other countries got involved and turned into the first world war
Serbia was blamed for the assassination. While the government has stated that they were never involved with the killing, most believe that the Black Hand (the gang that trained to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand) were called upon by the government.
It was a consquence of the Black Hand gang murdering Arch Franz Ferdinand when he visited Sarajevo in Bosnia - the Austrians blamed in on the Serbs as Bosnia wanted to be inderpendant of Austria-Hungary and part of Serbia and declared war.

When the Archduke was assassinated by a Bosnian terrorist, Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia, and immediately demanded that Austrian officials be allowed in to Serbia to ensure that all anti-Habsburgs propaganda was put down. Austria-Hungary wanted to keep their empire intact, so felt this was a necessary measure. When Serbia refused, Austria-Hungary declared war. The Tsar did not want Austria-Hungary to meddle in the Balkans, as the Black Sea was a major trade route for the Russians. Germany was allied to Austria Hungary, and agreed to stand by them in the face of a Russian attack. France was allied to Russia, and in order to conquer France quickly so that they could turn all their attention to Russia, Germany bypassed the French defenses by invading Belgium. Britain intervened to protect Belgian neutrality.
Germany took a majority of the blame for WWI, being forced to pay the highest in payments and take a majority of the punishment. That being said, the war was begun by Austria-Hungary and Serbia.
