Description

World War I began with an assassination in Sarajevo. But how did the death of one man turn into a global war involving the world’s greatest powers? From the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand to the July Crisis of 1914, discover how tensions between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, military mobilizations, alliances, and a series of crucial decisions pushed Europe toward war. So, why did World War I actually start, and how did one assassination trigger a conflict that changed the world forever?
