To determine which statements are incorrect, let's analyze them:
-
Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia for the death of Franz Ferdinand, after which Russia supported Serbia.
This statement is correct. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in June 1914 by a Bosnian Serb nationalist led Austria-Hungary to blame Serbia, prompting Austria-Hungary to issue an ultimatum to Serbia. Russia, which had Slavic ties to Serbia, supported Serbia in the conflict. -
Germany declared war on Russia after Russia pledged to support Serbia.
This statement is also correct. After refusing to demobilize its forces in response to Austria-Hungary’s declaration of war against Serbia, Germany declared war on Russia on August 1, 1914.
Given that both statements are correct:
- Answer: 4. None of the above (none of the statements are incorrect).
