What was the spark that lit the powder keg?
The spark was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. In 1908, Austria-Hungary had annexed the largely Slavic province of Bosnia. Serbia had wanted Bosnia to create a Slavic (Eastern European ethnic group) empire. In 1914, Ferdinand was invited by Bosnia's governor to see the army run through maneuvers. A Serbian nationalist group, the Black Hand, made multiple attempts on his life. Gavrilo Princip's was a success. After the assassination, Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia. If the smaller nation didn't comply, there would be war. Russia stepped in to aid its fellow Slavic country. It sent troops to its border with Germany, Austria's ally, as a precaution, but Germany took it as a threat and went to war. Events continued to spiral, dragging Belgium, England, France, Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire, Italy, Japan and all of those countries colonies into a world-wide conflict.

Spark of the Civil War?
In the late 18th century, the American Revolution had been building for quite some time before the significant "spark" was lit. This spark came at Lexington, Massachusetts, in April of 1775, where a small force of brave Americans quietly stood in protest against approaching British "redcoats", were fired upon, ran from the field, and then regathered at the next town down the road, Concord. Joined by reinforcements, they drove the British from Concord and thus began the War for Independence.
