Best Answer

The Balkan crisis provided the spark which started the First World War. Austria-Hungary felt it had to respond to such a provocation, but the system of alliances in Europe - Germany/Austria/Italy on one side and Britain/France/Russia on the other - meant that the assassination in Sarajevo soon escalated. At the end of the war, Austria-Hungary had ceased to be an Empire under Habsburg rule, Germany was no longer a monarchy but a weak and unloved democracy, Russia was the first communist state and Britain and France we so scarred from the experience of war that they sought collective system via the League of Nations to avoid any war in future.
