∙ 12y agoThe duke of Austria Hungary and his wife were in Serbia as a sign of them ruling Serbia and a Serbian terrorist decided to assassinate them. After that the government of Austria Hungary said to serbia you need to do these things such as giving them some land and abiding our law or we'll declare war on you and Serbia agreed. But what started the war was that the foreign minister lied to the king of Austria Hungary who was in shock from his son's assassination that Serbian troops had invaded Austria Hungary and that he needed to declare war on them so they could fight back. The king was in such a state of shock that he signed the document without realizing what he was doing and if he knew what the foreign minister was doing he probably would have had him beheaded. So because the king wasn't thinking straight he ended up starting the first war that involved the world (WWI) ,due to nations having allies and colonies, and destroyed most of the young men in that generation, and it was all because of the assassination of the duke Ferdinand and his wife and mainly because the foreign minister wanted a war so much.
