    Militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism were the main underlying causes of World War 1. The immediate spark that drew the great powers into war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Bosnian Serbs in June 1914. This led to Austria declaring war on Serbia and the entanglement of allied powers through defense treaties which split Europe into two opposing sides and set off a chain of events that resulted in a continental war by early August.
