World War 1 was an iconic historical conflict

World War 1 was an iconic historical conflict that started in 1914 and ended in 1918. It was the first international war of such an extensive capacity as it included states from different continents such as Germany, Bulgaria, Russia, France, Italy, Japan, the United States, Romania, Austria-Hungary, and Britain. The Serbian nationalist Garvillo Princip was the principal perpetrator of World War 1, as the conflict began with the murder of the prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

Although different people made significant contributions to the eruption of World War 1, the primary blame should go the militant Serbian nationalist, Garvillo Princip. His actions triggered increased tension between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Serbia, which caused a ripple effect on other states involved in the conflict. Garvillo Princip was the assassin who shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife on June 28, 1914, at the Sarajevo Bosnia. The death of Ferdinand led to the declaration of war against Serbia that was the primary reason for World War 1. The Serbian government also contributed by offering support to the action of Gavrillo Princip and his friends, which in turn resulted in the declaration of war against the state that led to World War 1. German leader Kaiser Wilhelm II should not receive the blame for World War 1 despite his contributions to the commence of the war by presenting Austro- Hungary with a blank check of support for any conflict that took place. Without Garvillo’s actions, there would be no need for conflict between Serbia and Austro-Hungary.

Garvillo Princip receives the primary blame as, without his action, there would be no ripple effect that would result in World War 1. If Garvillo Princip failed to kill Archduke Franz Ferdinard, Austro-Hungary would not have consulted Germany, and there would be no declaration of war of Serbia and no World War 1.
