World War I began in the Balkan region of Europe, specifically following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, Bosnia, on June 28, 1914. This incident triggered a series of alliances and conflicts, leading to a broader war that involved many countries across Europe. The tensions in the Balkans, fueled by nationalism and territorial disputes, played a crucial role in igniting the conflict.
