How was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie a cause of WW1?

What was the effect on WW1 also?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Hi, here goes

Before the start of WW1 Serbia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Nationalism was on the increase in Europe and there was much resentment by Serbians on their foriegn occupiers. In 1914 a group called the "Black Hand" tried to kill Franz and Sophie by throwing a grenade at them but luckily ( or so they must have thought) Franz deflected it and it exploded behind him. He quite obviously got pretty angry and shouted at them "is this how you welcome people?"

Franz and Sophie wanted to see the people injured in the blast and decided to go to the hospital, their driver took a wrong turn and ended up on a street where there were still some of the Black Hand gang, a guy called Princip shot the lady and also Franz killing both within minutes. Franz's dying words to his wife were "dont die my love, live for our kids" (something like that)

within 2 months of the murder Austro-Hungaria declared war on Serbia.

Serbians are Slavic in race and the Russians didnt take too kindly to that so decided to stick up for Serbia.

Things escalated into a global conflict because the major European powers established pre-war alliances in an attempt to avoid war. Britain, France and Russia established the Triple Entente while Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary formed the Triple Alliance. Such alliances were necessary because each nation had to defend its interests. Britain, for instance, was the undisputed ruler of the seas and feared the expansion of the German navy. France, meanwhile, wanted revenge on Germany for the outcome of the Franco-Prussian war of 1871

Though these alliances were meant to prevent war, they wound up having the opposite effect. When Austria-Hungary went to war with Serbia, Russia came to defend the Serbs; the Russians and Serbs were naturally aligned because they were both of Slav descent. Because Germany instucted Austria-Hungary to be firm with Serbia following the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, it felt obligated to join the conflict and promptly waged war on Russia. Britain and France had already established an alliance with Russia and had no choice but to wage war on Germany. Within a month of June 28th, 1914, all of the major European powers were at war. It is worth noting that Italy held out until 1915 when it joined the side of the allies.

Hope that helps you, the above 2 paragraphs have also been taken from the internet.

take care,

She quit her career in ballet after three years of touring and trained to become an actress while working as a bartender. Her first documented film role was at age 19 in the movie Rented Lips in which she played a dancer/nurse. Parker says she felt compelled to play the role of the complex, cynical, powerful and intimidating yet somewhat tortured Ice Queen because her name was "all over the script." She also played the minor role of Catherine Parker, Miss Parker's mother in The Pretender, a role that is in stark contrast to the character Miss Parker.

-Annie Duke is best known as a professional poker player, but if her social calendar gets much busier she might need to add "socialite" to her list of titles.

-I was alarmed to hear that Franz Ferdinand has been nominated for five Brits and four NME Awards. The British music scene is so starved of talent that the moment a half decent band comes along they're festooned with awards. They then go totally irrational, trashing hotel rooms and sleeping with excellent paragon for a year, before sinking back into oblivion. Wouldn't it be better to allow them time to improve so that when the glittering prizes come they don't immediately go their heads?
