The assassination of Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914 was not, by itself, the cause of World War One. Dozens of political assassinations had occurred in Europe without triggering continental war. What made 1914 different was the interaction of alliance structures, military mobilization timetables, and leaders who each believed they were managing a limited regional war. The July Crisis is a masterclass in how normal diplomatic processes can cascade into catastrophe when structural pressures override human judgment.
