[–] xohshoo@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (3 children) Russia has treaties with Britain since like 1904 that obligated it to engage in WWI. Thats how the murder of a Serbian devolved into a world war Outcome of leading to the downfall of the regime regardless, it was a little different than Afghanistan or Ukraine permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago* Not to be thát person, but Archduke Franz Ferdinand was not a Serb, he was Austrian. Even though Austria-Hungary did annex Bosnia and Herzegovina in the late 19th century, Franz Ferdinand was not born there - in fact he was born before the annexation. Unless you mean his killer, but then your wording is a little off and I would say "murder BY a Serbian." Even so, the ethnicity of the murderer wasn't really as important as his target. ;) permalink fedilink source parent [–] sugarfoot00@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago Thats how the murder of a Serbian devolved into a world war Archduke Franz Ferdinand was Austrian. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Fritee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago They also were figthing and got defeated by Japan right before that - did contribute to the downfall a little permalink fedilink source parent
