World War I was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary on June 28, 1914. This event led Austria-Hungary to issue an ultimatum to Serbia, whose nationalist movements were implicated in the assassination. The subsequent declaration of war by Austria-Hungary against Serbia set off a chain reaction of alliances and mobilizations among the major European powers, ultimately escalating into a full-scale global conflict. While no single nation can be solely blamed for the war, the complex web of alliances and rising tensions in Europe played a significant role in its initiation.
