Detailed explanation-1: -Two shots in Sarajevo ignited the fires of war and drew Europe toward World War I. Just hours after narrowly escaping an assassin’s bomb, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to Austro-Hungarian throne and his wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, are killed by Gavrilo Princip.
Detailed explanation-2: -Leading up to the Assassination Serbia was an ally with the powerful Russian Empire and Austria-Hungary was allied with Germany. When Archduke Ferdinand announced his trip to Sarajevo, Bosnian nationalists (people who wanted Bosnia to be its own country) saw their opportunity to strike at the Austrian Empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why did the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria lead to fighting? his killer wanted to unite all serbs under one government (not austria). The austrians wanted to punish Serbia + the alliance system pulled one nation after another into the war. Why did fighting take place in France?
