It started from nationalism with Seriba. They wanted to gain the Balkan peninsula because of the population of Slavic people. Russia supported the Serbian nationalism, because Russia itself was a Slavic nation. Austra-hungary disliked this idea, worrying that a Slavic state would stir rebellion among their Slavic population. Austria-Hungary annexed the Balkans. This angered Serbia. The final straw was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. He was heir to the Austro-hungarian throne. He and his wife, Sophia, visited the capital of Bosnia. As they rode through the streets, they were shot at close range by a member of the Black Hand, a secret society committed to ridding Bosnia of Austrian rule. Austria-Hungary issued a letter to Serbia stating that they were to respect the Great powers decision regarding the Balkans. The letter also aimed demands at preventing publication of propaganda that would advocate violence, removing people behind the propaganda in the Serbian Military, arresting people on Serbian soil who were involved with the assassination plot, and preventing secret shipments of arms and explosives from Serbia to Austria-Hungary. Serbia agreed to some demands, but offered to have several others settled by and international conference. Austria rejected Serbia's offer and declared war. Russia, an ally of Serbia, mobilized troops toward the Austrian Border.
