What event caused World War 1... | Quizzland Trivia Answers

I'm not sure that anyone can seriously claim that that Assassination actually caused World War One. It was certainly the spark that set off a chain of events that led to the declaration of war, but tensions had been inexorably building for more than two decades before 1914. An excellent read that explains it all best is a book called 'Dreadnought: Britain,Germany and the Coming of the Great War' by Robert K Massie

sunsetdb7, I agree, the question should instead of what 'caused' be what 'triggered' or 'set off' WWI.

Why is it that I can only read a handful of comments? I'll see someone reply to a persons comment, but they cut off the comment section and you are unable to read the original comment. It's annoying...

I learned of Gavrilo Princip in high school. They taught us that he was a terrorist. What they never mentioned is that Princip is actually considered a hero in Serbia. There is a statue of him in Belgrade, and his house, destroyed by the war, was rebuilt and is a museum now. There are two sides to every story.

Gavrilo Princip was a part of a group called Mlada Bosna which means Young Bosnia and they were against Austro hungarian empire and their tyrany...the fact that he was Serb by etnicity only proves that there were a lot of Serbs living in Bosnia and also that Ferdinand and Austro hungarian empire were a tyrants...nothing else...dont lie to people!

IrrelevantMentality3, It's because they leave the answer as a new comment, rather than 'anchor' it to the comment they are answering. I find it really annoying too.

common misbelief.....the assassination was just an excuse

sunsetdb7, the problem is that this game only takes extracts out od wikipedia, if you read the entire text its more complicated

It was the final trigger but not the only cause. There were many things that led to the outbreak of hostilities

IrrelevantMentality3, The original comment could have been deleted by the person who made the comment??

IrrelevantMentality3, I think it's because there would be way too many comments if they didn't delete some.

This wasn't a killing. It was an ASSASSINATION. There is a big difference.
