Choose the last three options — the nationality of the assassin, the collapse of the alliance system, and knowledge of the Schlieffen Plan.

Briefly: the assassin’s nationality links the crime to Serbia and Austria-Hungary’s ultimatum; the alliance system explains how a local crisis escalated into a general war; the Schlieffen Plan explains why rapid mobilization and invasion (Germany’s move through Belgium/France) widened the conflict. The role of East African soldiers is not relevant to why the assassination triggered the European-wide war.
