What was the spark that started ww1?
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Savajevo, Bosnia, by a Serbian nationalist teenager, Gavrilo Princip. The Austrian government claimed, possibly correctly, that the assassination had been planned by the Serbian secret service and therefore sent a set of demands (an ultimatum) to the Serbian government.

What was the spark that started World War 1?
I don"t know the answer but i want to find out This is from the wikipedia page on WW1: The assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, is seen as the immediate trigger of the war, though long-term causes, such as imperialistic foreign policy, played a major role. Ferdinand's assassination at the hands of a Bosnian Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip resulted in Habsburg ultimatum against the Kingdom of Serbia.[6] Several alliances that had been formed over the past decades were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war; with all having colonies, the conflict soon spread around the world. The conflict opened with the German invasion of Belgium, Luxembourg and France; the Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia and a Russian attack against Prussia. After the German march on Paris was brought to a halt, the Western Front settled into a static battle of attrition with a trench line that changed little until 1917. In the East, the Russian army successfully fought against the Austro-Hungarian forces but were forced back by the German army. Additional fronts opened with the Ottoman Empire joining the war in 1914, Italy in 1915 and Romania in 1916. Imperial Russia left the war in 1917. After a 1918 German offensive along the western front, American forces entered the trenches and the German armies were driven back in a series of successful allied offensives. Germany surrendered on Armistice Day, November 11, 1918.
Do You Think Gavrilo Princip achieved what he wanted by assassinating the Archduke and was the assassination justified?
Gavrilo Princip assassinated Franz Ferdinand because Austria-Hungary was trying to form a Austria-Hungary-Serbia type deal. Many Serbians didn't want that. So yes, I believe the Gavrilo Princip achieved what he wanted to do, but he obviously never intended to set off a chain of events that is still felt to this day.
Why did Serbia help the assassins kill the archduke?
Gavrilo Princip was a member of the Black Hand, a a Serbian underground resistance group opposed to Austro-Hungarian government and it's occupation of Serbia. They did not want to be part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and they did not want to pay taxes to them. There is also some indication he had a personal dislike for the Archduke. Princip had tuberculosis and knew he was going to die soon. He assassinated the Archduke as a final act of "patriotism" believeing he would not live long enough to receive punishment.
How did Gavrilo Princip start world war 1?
noo he didnt he just farted His shooting the Archduke was used as an excuse, certainly. But it is then a great stride to sinking the Lusitania, the Russian Revolution or Tannenburg, or the horrors of Verdun, the Somme, Ypres and so on. Truth is certainly the first casualty of war. It would be a very severe indictment to lay upon the actions of one man. The struggle for European power had been fomenting for many years. Quite what all this has to do with what Princip was objecting to is also vague and conditioned by opinion, far removed from his action & responsibility. My answer directly to the question is therefore No. Which is all I want to have in common with the first answer !

Who did serbia want independence from in World War 1?
Serbia wanted to gain nothing from ww1. They were just protecting their home land. No matter what English history says, Serbia never started any wars as my great grandfather was killed by a concentration camp in the 1st ww.
What did Gavrilo Princip say about his actions after World War 1?
His shooting the Archduke was used as an excuse, certainly. But it is then a great stride to sinking the Lusitania, the Russian Revolution or Tannenburg, or the horrors of Verdun, the Somme, Ypres and so on. Truth is certainly the first casualty of war. It would be a very severe indictment to lay upon the actions of one man. The struggle for European power had been fomenting for many years.

Who assassinated Ferdinand?
Archduke Franz Ferdinand is assassinated because Germans want to turn Austria in to a Federal system. Serbs are afraid of the archduke and think he is a threat to unification.
What was the ultimatum given to Serbia by Austria?
Austria-Hungary belived that Serbia was directly responsible for assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Which is not true, because Serbia was economically weak because in 1912 and 1913 she fought in 2 Balkan wars and certanly she didn't want to provoke Austria-Hungary. In reality, Gavrilo Princip was part of student organisation called Mlada Bosna (Young Bosnia) who was opposed of AH's annexation of Bosnia and was directly linked to secret organisation from Serbia called Crna ruka (Black hand).
Is it true that Ferdinand's assassination was a conspiracy with a group of people including the driver and Princip was just the one who shot him?
== == Yes and no. Gavrilo Princip was connected to a secret organization in Serbia called the Black Hand (or "Unification or Death") which wanted all the lands populated by South Slavs to be under one government. Most of these places, aside from Serbia, were part of Austria-Hungary before World War I. The Black Hand apparently recruited a number of Bosnian students, including Gavrilo Princip, to assassinate Franz Ferdinand, and provided them with weapons and support. The Archduke was the heir to the Austrian throne and also an important reformer in the Habsburg government who wanted to reorganize the empire to give its Slav subjects more say. Serbia absolutely did not want this to happen, because that would mean that it would be less of an influence on Slavic nationalists in Austria-Hungary. Franz Ferdinand was inspecting the Austrian army in Sarajevo on an important Serbian holiday, Vidovdan, when he was assassinated. Princip's group had five chances to kill him along his route (they were spread out along it) and they screwed up all five times, although one of them wounded a bunch of people with a bomb. Franz Ferdinand continued to the town hall where there was going to be a reception, but afterwards decided to visit some of the victims of the bombing in a hospital instead of leaving the city as he had planned. Princip was in a shop getting a sandwich when he saw the Archduke's car coming by (it had taken a wrong turn). So he shot him and attempted to shoot the governor of Bosnia but got the Archduke's wife instead. So yes, there was a conspiracy, but it was a nationalist conspiracy supported by Serbia and didn't involve anyone in Austria-Hungary. The driver was definitely not involved (in fact, he was rewarded by the last emperor Charles I). He was a Czech named Leopold Lojka and he had no reason to want Franz Ferdinand dead (he certainly didn't seem to be a nationalist, but even if he had been, Czech nationalists rather liked Franz Ferdinand at that point), and it's reasonable to think that he just took a wrong turn because he hadn't gotten the change in plans. The Black Hand and other Serbian nationalists wanted to kill Franz Ferdinand purely because of his political beliefs and his status as the heir apparent -- nobody had any idea it would start World War I.
What were the steps leading up to the Assassination of Archduke Franz F erdinand?
A group of Serbian terrorists believed that Bosnia should have been part of Serbia and not the Austria-Hungary empire. They plotted to murder the Emperor's nephew (and heir) Archduke Franz Ferdinand when he visited Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. It did't work. As the Archduke was driving through the city to the Town Hall, one of the terrorists threw a bomb at the car. It bounced off, his another car and injured several people. The terrorists present tried to commit suicide, first by swallowing cyanide (which didn't work), then jumping into the river (which turned out to be about five inches deep, thanks to the summer weather). They were soon hauled out by an angry mob. The other would-be assassins (including Princip) missed their chance. The Archduke went to the Town Hall as he had planned, where he was greated with a warm welcome, but decided to leave the city. As he was being driven away, the driver made a wrong turn and ran into Gavrilo Princip outside a food shop.
Who started and is responsible for World War 1?
WWI was started by a variety of events that compacted together essentially bringing Europe to it's knees. If you want to be technical about it the lone event that triggered the war would have to be the assination of Arch Duke Ferdinand. A man by the name of Gavrilo Princip was the assian and a member of the black hand, which was a group of Serbian nationalists.
Why did Gavrilo Princip and six other young men want to kill the archduke?
The Serbians had a dream of a greater Pan-Serbia, with all Serbian speaking people and the territory they lived on united under the Serbian flag. There were ethnic Serbs living in the massive neighboring Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Serbs coveted this population and the area where they lived for Serbia. Ferdinand was Heir to the Throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The old Emperor, Franz Josef, had been on the throne fifty six years, and had to die sometime soon. Ferdinand had shown signs of being a reformer. The Serbs worried that once on the throne Ferdinand might be so conciliatory and accommodating to the ethnic Serbs in his Empire that these ethnic Serbs would loose all desire, if they had any, to be out of the Empire and to become a part of Serbia. So, in effect, Ferdinand was killed for being a nice guy.
