The Austria-Hungarian Empire was expanding during the early 1900. After the indepedence of Serbia and Bosnia from the Ottoman Empire a few decades nack, Bosnia wanted to join the Austrian Empire. Archduke Franz Ferdinand who was the Crown Prince of the Austrian Empire was sent to the capital of Bosnia, Sarajevo as a state visit. While there he was assassinated by Serbian Nationals who opposed Austrian expansion. As a result of his sons death, Emperor Joseph of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia. As a great ally of Russia, Russia declares war im which Russia's ally France declares war. Four days later the German Empire who was a great ally of Austria declared war on Serbia, Russia, and France.
