Unfortunately, very few alive today are cognizant of the specific trigger event which literally started World War I.
It was the false flag assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, the presumptive heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg in Sarajevo that lit the Balkan tinderbox, which then provoked the full-blown World War I.
[Both] were shot dead in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, one of a group of six assassins (five Serbs and one Bosniak) coordinated by Danilo Ilić, a Bosnian Serb and a member of the Black Hand secret society. The political objective of the assassination was to break off Austria-Hungary’s South Slav provinces so they could be combined into a Yugoslavia. The assassins’ motives were consistent with the movement that later became known as Young Bosnia. The assassination led directly to the First World War when Austria-Hungary subsequently issued an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia, which was partially rejected. Austria-Hungary then declared war.
