Best Answer

The official cause of World War 1 is usually listed as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He and his wife Sophie were fatally shot by Gavrilo Princip (a previous assassination attempt involved the throwing of a bomb, which is not technically a gun shot), and these shots may be considered those which started the War.
