The assasination of Archduke France Ferdinad was the most impotant cause of war. how far do you agree? The assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinad was the most important cause of war because there was tension between A-H and Serbia. Austria-Hungary were looking for an escuse to attack Serbia as they felt that Serbia was becoming too strong and confident after the Balkan wars of 1912-13.on the 28th of june when AFF came to sarajevo, he was assasinated by a serbian natinalist group called the blackhand which also killed his wife. This was the perfect exuse AH needed to attack serbia because as a result of the assasination on the 23rd of July AH sent an ultimatum to Serbia which they knew it will refuse and resulting into war.
why do you disagree with the assasnation of archduke Franz? howver i disgree because the kaiser was also the most impotant cause of war because firstly he got rid of Otto Von Bismarck a germany chancellor who actaully wanted to make Germany a better country in a non-millitant way and introduced a new agressive policy of weltpolitik which was aimed to make germany powerful through acquisation of foreign terrtories. . Secondly he interfered in the colonial affairs of european countries,in 1890s the Kaiser sent a telegragm to the leader of Transvaal paul kruger congratulating him for not letting Britain undermine transvaal,this humiliated Britain and they stated seeing Germany as a serious rival and a threat for interfering in what they called a sphere of influence this might have caused war because Transvaal was now a home to to lrage numbers of british. . lastyly Germany came up with a milltary plan called Schlieffen plan which was to attack france through Belgium and defeat it in six weeks and then attack Russia because they thought it would take Russia up to six weeks to mobilize its large army.
why do you disgree ?conitued..... this might have caused war becaus the shlieffen plan failed because the resistance of the Belgians and the BEF prevented this, Russia mobillised quicker than expected and and Germany didnt have enough resources to fight on 2 fronts
