Did world war 1 start over a sandwhich?

Yes, technically World War I was triggered by a sandwich. Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian terrorist, failed to assassinate Franz Ferdinand a first time... so he went to a delicatessen for a quick bite to eat (a sandwich). By coincidence, Franz Ferdinand was outside after making a wrong turn, and Gavrilo Princip shot him.This triggered WWI.


How many times did the black hand group try to kill archduke Franz Ferdinand?

They had a plan to execute him but they all failed until fait gave Gavrilo princip another chance when Franz Ferdinand's driver accidentaly took a wrong turn which took him straight to gavrilo so he shot him and his wife on the spot. his wife was pregnant and it was their anninversary. also was first time his wife sat with him in public.


What were the general arguments for entering World War 1?

The Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Black Hand (a Serbian terrorist group), while visiting Sarajevo.Austria-Hungary was enraged and wanted someone to pay. So they issued an ultimatum where Austria-Hungary wanted Gavrilo Princip to be executed but Serbia, who had a law that anyone under the age of 21 (which Gavrilo Princip was) would not be executed.Germany, Austria-Hungary's allie, was looking for any excuse to go to war. So Germany issued Austria-Hungary a "blank check"that basically said that they would support what ever decision Austria-Hungary made.Austria-Hungary decides to wage war on Serbia, and because France is Serbia's allie they get dragged into it as well as Britain and Russia. Thus starting The Great War/TheWar to End All Wars (World War One).Hope I Helped ;)
