On 28 June 1914, Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb student, shot and killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo!. Princip was a member of Young Bosnia, a group whose aims included the unification of the South Slavs and independence from Austria-Hungary!. The assassination in Sarajevo set into motion a series of fast-moving events that eventually escalated into full-scale war!.[6] Austria-Hungary demanded action by Serbia to punish those responsible and, when Austria-Hungary deemed Serbia had not complied, declared war!. Major European powers were at war within weeks because of overlapping agreements for collective defense and the complex nature of international alliances!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand, but this was only one cause!. Look at the wikipedia page!. I personally believe that WWII did more damage if you count the Holocaust!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You really should research this on the Internet, or elsewhere!. Google and Wikipedia would be great starting points!.

The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was no more than a spark that set Europe ablaze!. It was ready to go up and just needed a little push!.

The causes of WWI are too complex for me to type up here, but one of the biggest was the system of entangling alliances!. Europe was divided into two big alliances that committed their members to joining in wars that any member got into--so what might have been just a localized conflict ended up spiraling out of control and affecting much of the world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are a lot of triggers, but the big one was Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand and his being shot!. You should read up the story!. It was a 100% botched job!. The guys who tried to do it all failed and one got away!. He was coming out of a shop later and saw the arch duke parked in a car in front of it!. He just walked up and shot him!. All the assassins were caught!.

As for how it effected the world, well for one it caused the down-fall of the British empire!. It brought colonialism to an end!. It's why there's an Ireland and Northern Ireland!. While the Brits were fighting the Germans Michael Collins lead a revolt against the police and military in Ireland!. He commanded the IRA's military faction and was able to bring England to the table since it was busy fighting a war!.

It should be noted he did it without killing any civilians as well!. He targeted only police and military working with the English!. He's a model freedom-fighter because of it!. He's the one who first said "The point of terrorism is to terrorise!." Lenin borrowed it later!.

Oh, also during the first world war was when Russia became the Soviet Union!. They pulled out after that!. It's one of the reasons why the Marxists were able to rebel!. No one liked the monarchy anyway and they were getting slaughtered thanks to the war!.

As for was it worse than WW2, no, it wasn't!. More people died the second time around!. There were two nuclear bombs!. There were many more civilian casualties!.!.!. The second world war raged on 4 continents!. You could almost say 5 if you count the few bombs that were dropped by the Japanese on California (balloons sent to make fires, barely worked at all)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This same question blah blah blah has been on Answers SO MANY GODDAM times!.!.!.why don't you check the resolved questions before asking questions that have been asked before!? better still, buy yourself a history book and learn this stuff yourself, instead of seeking the easy and lazy way out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm with Brad!. There are many questions like this one, asking the same thing over and over!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

Doug S - why are you praising someone (Michael Collins ) who was responsible for the murder of soldiers and policemen!? Murder is murder whoever is killed!. Murderers are not heroes

Policemen are civilian, not military!. And Michael Collins can hardly be described as bringing Britian to its knees!. I wonder what Guinness-stained history books you're reading!?
