Alliance System Europe had reached its breaking point on June 28, When Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austria-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia. He was killed by a Serbian nationalist, Gavrilo Princip, belonging to an organization known as the Black Hand. Convinced that the Serbian government had conspired against them, Austria-Hungary issued Serbia an unacceptable ultimatum. Serbia agreed almost entirely.

Alliance System Austria-Hungary was unsatisfied and declared war on Serbia. Russia then ordered a mobilization only against Austria-Hungary. The Germans threatened war if the Russians did not demobilize. France responded and mobilized. On August 1, Germany declared war on Russia, and two days later, on France. The German invasion of Belgium to attack France, which violated Belgium's official neutrality, prompted Britain to declare war on Germany. World War I had begun.
