28 Jul 1914 Jahr - Austria-Hungary declares war on serbia

Beschreibung:

On July 28, 1914, one month after Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife were assassinated in Sarajevo by a Serbian nationalist, Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia, essentially starting World War I. The decleration of the war followed a report of an unsubstantiated incident involving Hapsburg and Serbian troops. Ausria-Hungary was resolved to take strong action against Serbia, despite the fact that it knew it would risk conflict with Serbia's ally, Russia. Because it had the assurance of German assistance, Austria-Hungary was willing to risk war.
