On June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo Bosnia & Herzegovina Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand & his wife Sophie from Austria. The assassination initiated the July Crisis, a month of diplomatic maneuvering between Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, France and Britain. Believing that Serbian intelligence helped organize Franz Ferdinand's murder, Austrian officials wanted to use the opportunity to end their interference in Bosnia and saw war as the best way of achieving this. After Russia mobilized in Serbia's defense, Germany declared war on Russia; by 4 August, France and the United Kingdom were drawn in, with the Ottomans joining in November and other countries in 1915-1918 In the aftermath of the war, the German, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, and Russian empires disappeared.
