Well, I personally believe that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand just tipped everyone over the top. Things were already strained, and that just snapped the rubberband, so to speak.
The assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo was the spark that ignited the tensions and rivalries among European powers. Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia for the assassination and issued an ultimatum, which led to a chain reaction of alliances and military mobilizations. This escalation eventually escalated into a full-scale global war, with countries taking sides and declaring war on each other.

The war in 1914, originally called the Great War, was later called a world war as it was fought by more countries and on a larger scale than any war before.
Geologic Time. It's called the Geologic Time Scale.
World War I and II are different from previous wars because of the scale of the war fought. Countries would attack each other's colonies, as well as drawing resources from all over the world. They both included all the European powers, as well as many other European countries, and the United States. Taking over colonies, even those belonging to other countries, would never reach this scale, as those would usually be between 2 or 3 countries. The massive loss of life also sets them other wars: World War II alone cost 15 million soldiers and 60 millions civilians their lives.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (and his wife) at Sarajevo in 1914 led most of the world into war because of one fundamental reason: the alliance system. Due to the many complex alliances that had been arranged among European nations in the years prior, war broke out on a much larger scale than it would have otherwise.
The even that directly begin the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The war actually began when the tense, but bloodless conflict between Austria and Serbia caused by the shooting was widened into a full-scale war when Russia stepped in to aid Serbia.
The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand that started the chain of events leading to World War 1 was carried out by a Serbian separatist group called the Black Hand. The Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia prompted Russia to declare war on them, which quickly drew all of Europe's great powers into a large scale conflict.
because he was assassinated by serbians 2 other reThe assassination in Sarajevo set into motion a series of fast-moving events that eventually escalated into full-scale war. asons why world war 1 started were: Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare (U-boats), and the zimmerman note
The years leading up to World War 1 saw heightened tensions and increased nationalism across Europe. Arms races were underway, particularly between Germany and the UK, and an intricate system of alliances developed in an effort to deter a large scale continental war. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand provided the spark that actually started the war, but it is believed by many that even if the assassination didn't occur some other incident would have caused the war.
The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand is the spark that began the chain events that resulted in World War 1. However, tensions, alliances, and arms races made a large scale war almost inevitable regardless of the spark that ignited it.

The Centigrade scale, a.k.a. the Celsius scale.
Celsius is the temperature scale that is used in most of the world.
There really wasnt any. Russia began the war when it widened the conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia over Bosnia into a full-scale war after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Germany entered the war as a response to Russia mobilization of troops to the Russo-German border. Germany is only responsible for bringing Belgium and England into the war when it invaded Belgium, but that came after the outbreak of war.
The direct cause of WWI was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. However historians feel that a number of factors contributed to the rivalry between the Great powers that allowed war on such a wide-scale to break out.

The terms "small scale" and "large scale" are relative terms. Compared to a street map (typically 1:30000 or less) it is a large scale. Compared to a world map (1:10,000,000 or higher), it would be smaller. But because a 1:175000 does not show much detail (1 cm = 1.75 km), it would usually be considered a large scale map. It could be used for a metropolitan area highway map.
