The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in June 1914 triggered a complex web of alliances and tensions among European powers. It set off a chain reaction, leading Austria-Hungary to issue an ultimatum to Serbia, which, when not fully accepted, resulted in Austria-Hungary declaring war. This action activated existing treaties and alliances, pulling multiple countries into the conflict and ultimately leading to the outbreak of World War I. The assassination highlighted underlying nationalist and imperialist tensions that had been building in Europe.
