In June 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary on June 28 in Sarajevo set off a chain of events that led to the outbreak of World War I. The assassination was carried out by Gavrilo Princip, a member of a nationalist group seeking independence for Serbia. This incident escalated tensions between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, ultimately leading to a series of alliances being activated and the declaration of war in July 1914. The conflict rapidly expanded, drawing in multiple countries and marking the beginning of one of the deadliest wars in history.
