- The Moroccan Crisis and Bosnian Crisis caused tension between countries, with war narrowly avoided through conferences and backing down.
- The assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to Austro-Hungarian empire, by Serbian terrorist group, The Black Hand, was a result of his unpopularity and desire for change.
- Seven young men trained in bomb-throwing and marksmanship were stationed along the route of Franz Ferdinand's car, with the third terrorist throwing a grenade that injured attendants but not the Archduke.
- After lunch, the Archduke insisted on visiting the injured attendants in the hospital, but the driver took a wrong turn and stopped the car, allowing Gavrilo Princip to step forward and fire two shots, killing the Archduke and his wife.
- The German, Von Schlieffen, had a plan of action that involved attacking France through Belgium if Russia made an attack on Germany.
