 * Significance**- Franz Ferdinand’s assassination on June 28, 1914, by Serbian militant Gavrilo Princip, is widely considered the unofficial start of World War I. Shortly after the archduke's death, Austria-Hungary issued a formal letter known as the July Ultimatum to the Serbian government. This said that if Seribia did not adhere to all of its demands within 48 hours, then they would recall their ambassador from Serbia. Serbian reservists being transported on tramp steamers crossed on to the Austro-Hungarian side of the river at Temes-Kubin (accidentally) and Austro-Hungarian soldiers fired into the air to warn them off. This incident was blown out of proportion and Austria-Hungary then declared war. Austria- Hungary mobilized its army on July 28, 1914. Russia and France, under the secret treaty of 1892, were obligated to mobilize their armies if any of the Triple Alliance mobilized. Soon all the Great Powers (except Italy) had chosen sides and gone to war.
