The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the one event that pushed Europe over the edge and brought about World War I.
The term "powder keg of Europe" typically refers to the Balkan region, particularly in the context of the tensions and conflicts that led to World War I. Factors such as nationalism, imperialism, and alliances contributed to this volatile situation. Therefore, any event or concept unrelated to these geopolitical tensions or the Balkans, such as industrial developments in Western Europe or unrelated domestic issues, would not be connected to the powder keg of Europe.

The end of World War II in Europe was signaled by the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany on May 7, 1945, which took effect on May 8, 1945, known as Victory in Europe (VE) Day. This surrender followed a series of military defeats for Germany and the encroachment of Allied forces into German territory. The surrender marked the official conclusion of hostilities in Europe, leading to the eventual establishment of peace and the reorganization of the continent.
