World War I was significantly influenced by tensions in the Balkans, particularly due to the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of nationalism among ethnic groups. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb nationalist, in June 1914 ignited existing rivalries. This incident, coupled with the complex web of alliances and escalating military mobilizations, ultimately led to the outbreak of the war in July 1914. The Balkan Wars (1912-1913) also contributed to regional instability, further entrenching hostilities among the major powers.
