The situation occurred because Serbia and Austria-Hungary were disputing over a piece of land. Serbia believed the land was Serbian, while Austria-Hungary believed the land was Austro-Hungarian.

Serbian terrorists assassinated the Austro-Hungarian duke as a form of protest, and a showing of national pride. That Serbians were willing to go through any lengths to hold on to the land that (they believed) rightfully belonged to them.

What conflicts in Europe led to world war 1?

The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungary throne, by a Bosnian Serb nationalist on 28 June 1914, caused barely a ripple of public interest across most of Europe when it was first reported. Yet what at first appeared to be no more than the most recent incident in a long-standing but localised squabble over power and influence within the Balkans had much wider repercussions. The assassination on that summer Sunday was not the cause of World War I but it was the catalyst that dragged all of Europe's great powers into a conflict of global proportions in not much more than one month. World War I was the product of many deep-seated issues dividing the various great European powers, economic, political and territorial, for example that was exacerbated by the fact that those involved were bound together by the secret treaties which placed them mutually antagonistic camps, commonly referred to as the Central Powers and the Triple Entente.


How are treaties broken?

it depends on what you are looking for: in World War 1, there was a bunch of alliances, formed by treaties, agreements, and whatnot. there are two types of alliances covert and overt. an overt alliance is an alliance between two countries that they recognize and is publicly known. (an example would be America and Great Britain; Germany and Austria-Hungary) a covert alliance is an alliance that is secret. usually, a country does not have to honor a covert alliance, so this ends up with a lot of backstabbing as you can imagine. alliances were the main reason why WW1 started. with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist terrorist group (the Black Hand), Austria was enraged. They declared war on Serbia. Russia then declared war on Austria-Hungary (because of alliances). Soon after, Germany declared war on Russia. not sure if this helps, but if it doesnt, restate the question to be more specific and i might be able to help you...


Why did World War 1 breakout in Europe?

Various ethnic groups resented domination by others and longed for their nations to become independent. Many nations also looked to larger nations for protection. An example of this is that many nations feared that Germany was growing to much power and may take over Europe. Another example of this is Russia; Russia regarded itself as the protector of Europe's Slavic peoples, no matter which government they lived under.

Why nationalism lead one country to join World War 1?

Nationalism contributed to the outbreak of World War I by fostering intense rivalries and a sense of competition among nations, particularly in Europe. Countries sought to assert their dominance and protect their national interests, often at the expense of others. For example, Serbia's nationalistic aspirations to unite Slavic peoples led to heightened tensions with Austria-Hungary, ultimately culminating in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the subsequent declaration of war. This surge in national pride and the desire for territorial expansion fueled alliances and conflicts that escalated into a global war.
