Assassination of the Austrian Archduke

Assassination

Th archduke and his family

A Serb killed the Archduke Franz Ferdinand at the city of Sarajevo. Now Austria-Hungary was very angry it is time for Serbia to rebel against Austria and become the Great Serbia. Furthermore Serbia killed the Archduke so the rock was already launched and Serbia may not have to hide the hand because Russia will support them.

Germany’s Reaction

The assasination of the Archduke.

Austria wants to destroy Serbia and they have Germany at their side. But even though Russia will protect Serbia if Austria-Hungary invades them. Germany likes to resolve problems by the war so probably they would use this crisis to launch a preventive war in the Balkans. Russia has to interfere and face Germany.
