Best Answer

because arch duke franz fredinhand had been shot

You really are an idiot. Everyone knows FF was assassinated in 1914, the act which sparked the first world war.

Austria annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina to strengthen its influence in the Balkan region, something which had been threatened by recent nationalistic uprisings there relating to Balkan desire of 'pan-slavism'.

Whoever wrote this above me is the real idiot because that is not what sparked the first world war. The war had already begun to erupt by 1908 when Bosnia and Herzegovina were seized by Austria.
