In 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary on June 28 triggered a chain reaction of alliances and tensions in Europe. Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia, which, backed by Russia, led to a declaration of war. This conflict quickly escalated as countries honored their military alliances, resulting in a full-scale war that became known as World War I. The intricate web of alliances and rising nationalism played a crucial role in igniting the conflict.
