There were four main causes to the war: militarism, nationalism, Imperialism, and the alliance system. But only one event was the spark. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, from Austria-Hungary, was the spark of the war. While visiting the smaller country of Serbia, a freedom fighter named Gavrilo Princep murdered them.
