the nationality of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassin
Reason: Knowing the assassin was a Bosnian Serb linked to Serbian nationalist groups explains why Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia and issued an ultimatum — the immediate cause that set the alliance and mobilization systems into motion. The Schlieffen Plan and alliances help explain why the conflict widened, but the assassin’s nationality is the direct link from the killing to the diplomatic crisis.
