Austria blamed Serbia for the outbreak of World War I. This accusation was primarily fueled by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, by a Bosnian Serb nationalist in June 1914. In response, Austria issued an ultimatum to Serbia, which ultimately led to the escalation of tensions among the major powers and the declaration of war.
