The war was started by the assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia, a province of Austria at the time.(June, 28, 1914) Serbia had always wanted to crush the Serbs in Bosnia and Serbia itself, who was helping Austrian-Serbs in an uprising against Austria. Since the Serbs had always fought the Austrian government and threatened their “patchwork” quilt of nations, Austria used the assassination of Franz Ferdinand as an excuse to send an ultimatum to Serbia. The Serbian government would suppress all propaganda coming out of Serbia against Austria-Hungary. Serbia would forbid anti-Austria lessons in schools. Serbia was to fire officials spreading anti-Austria propaganda. There would be a trial of the members of the Mloda Bosnia and the Black hand terrorist uprising group in an Austrian Hungarian court. Serbia must accept these terms in 48 hours. Serbia accepted all demands but one, they wanted the trial to take place in Serbia. Than Austria had what it had always wanted, an excuse to crush Serbia, they declared war against Serbia on July 28. Russia, who had always supported the Serbs because of their common origins ordered partial mobilization against Austria Hungary. Germany had already agreed to help Austria-Hungary in the event of war and had given Austria a blank cheque. At this time Russia, Germany, Serbia and Austria are prepared to fight. And with this Austria-Serbia conflict the World War 1 started and later grew with France, England, Belgium and many other nations.
