There were several reasons for world war1. But the adjacent reason was the incident of Sarajevo. Archduke francs Ferdinand the Crown Prince of Austria and her wife was murdered at Sarajevo in Serbia on 14th June 1914. Austria asked for compensation but Serbia did not give. Then Austria declared war against Serbia. Germany also aproved that. In this case Russia arised for Serbia's help. Germany asked Russia not to interfere. Russia refused that, so Germany declared war against Russia. Germany declared war against France too as France had a alliance betwean France and Russia. Like this, because of the animosity and the doubt betwean European nations the wworld war I began.
