The trigger behind the Great War was considerably different from the actual causes behind it according to historians. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the successor to the power of Austria-Hungary led to the spark of the War. This specific incident of killing the Archduke was an act by a terrorist group based on Serbia (Reist, 2019). However, this group had no direct connection to the Serbian government but Austria-Hungary, being a rival force to Serbia, alleged the Serbian government responsible behind the assassination and waged war.
