The Balkans were known as the "powder keg of Europe" prior to the outbreak of World War I. This region was characterized by a complex web of ethnic tensions, nationalist movements, and competing interests of major powers, leading to a volatile situation. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo in 1914, a part of this troubled region, acted as the immediate spark that ignited the war.

The assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand was the immediate cause of World War I. He was killed by a Serbian terrorist, which caused Austria to declare war on Serbia. Serbia was allied with Russia, who intervened, causing Germany to declare war on Russia, which caused France to declare war on Germany.
In Europe it was the attack of Poland by the German Nazis on 9-1-39. In the Pacific it was the attack on the US Naval Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii by the Japanese on 12-7-41 that was the immediate cause of World War 2 for the USA.
But Eastern Europe was prior to World War 1. There was a lot of tension between and among the countries and the first spark (the assassination of Ferdinand) set off the explosion.
