How did Austria's government react to the assassination of archduke francis Ferdinand?
Austria's government took this very seriously, they invaded France without permission.
EDIT:
Actually, they issued an ulitmatum to Serbia that if they didn't meet a list of demands, there would be war. France was not represented in this conflict. They were understanably angry and issued an ultimatum for Serbia in retaliation for the Slavic nation's inablitity to keep their citizens from killing political leaders of other countries.
Would the war still have taken place if the assassination of Ferdinand had not?
Yes. The tension over the arms race that had taken place since the unification of the German states, the weakening of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires, the Pan-Slavic nationalist movement and the French hatred of Germany over the loss of Alsace-Lorraine was bound to resolve itself in a war sooner or later. WWI's perpetrator in this case would most likely be Germany. The Kaiser's belief of Germany " Needing to have a place in the sun" would most likely make Germany to direct aggression onto Belgium or Russia, both having strong ties with France.
