    GAVRILO PRINCIP:

    THE MERE SPARK THAT


    IGNITED WORLD WAR 1

    SERBIAN NATIONALISM
    On 28 June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of
    Austria-Hungary, was shot and killed by a Serbian man who thought
    Serbia should control Bosnia instead of Austria.
    Born into a Bosnian Serb peasant family, Princip was trained in terrorism by the
    Serbian secret society known as the Black Hand. Wanting to destroy Austro-Hungarian
    rule in the Balkans and to unite the South Slav peoples into a federal nation, he
    believed that the first step must be the assassination of a member of the Habsburg imperial
    family or a high official of the government. As the car carrying the
    Archduke of Austria-Hungary and his wife passed, Princip remained
    intrepid and shot both of them dead.
    OUTRAGE
    Franz Ferdinand was beloved by his
    people, his death baffled the entirety of
    Europe. I believe , even if the
    assassination attempt failed. A war was
    bound to break out. Timid relations in
    Europe arose discomfort, and as the
    power of wester Europe continued to
    augment. Germany and Austria-Hungary
    felt the need to preserve their standing
    on a global stage. European conquest in
    Africa was nothing but successful, hence
    why European nations built alliances to
    have a sense of security. The death of
    Allied power
    the archduke was nothing but a mere
    excuse to engulf Europe in war Central
    therefore dragging the preposterous
    powers
    patchwork of alliances into it.
    AN ALLIANCE VIEWED DICHOTOMOUSLY
    In the age of imperialism prior to World War I,
    countries throughout Europe had created
    alliances. The alliances promised that each
    country would support the other if war ever broke
    out between an ally and another Great Power. The
    alliance, between France, Britain and Russia,
    formed in 1907 and called the Triple Entente,
    caused the most friction among nations. Germany
    felt that this alliance surrounding them was a
    threat to their power and existence. As tensions
    continued to rise over alliances, the preexisting
    alliances fed into other countries declaring war
    against one another in the face of conflict. The 2
    sides fighting in the war were called the Allied
    and Central Powers. By the start of the war, Italy Painting depicting the moment Gavirlo
    and the United States entered on the side of the Princip shot the archduke Of Austria-
    Hungary
    Allied Powers, which consisted of Russia, France
    and Great Britain. The Central Powers,
    alternately, consisted of Germany, Austria-
    Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria.

    AVOIDED ?
