The Balkans revisitedAustria-Hungary had annexed (taken over) part of the Balkans called Bosnia Herzegovina in 1908.

A sizeable part of the of Bosnian population were Serbs. The Bosnian Serbs were tired of their Austro-Hungarian rulers – they wanted to live in an independent Slavic state.

Many wanted to join with the neighbouring state of Serbia to form a “Greater Serbia”.

The assassination

The consequences of the assassination

-Three weeks after the assassination, Austria-Hungary sent Serbia an ultimatum.

-The Austrians held Serbia responsible for the assassination and demanding that the Serb government round up anti-Austrian agitators.

-The Austro-Hungarians knew that Serbia could not agree to the terms of the ultimatum. The refusal of Serbia to grant the demands would provide Austria-Hungary with the reason they wanted to declare war.-

How important do you think the assassination was in starting the First World War?
