On june 28, 1914, a serbian nationalist named gavrilo princip assassinated franz ferdinand (no, not the band), the archduke of austria, in sarajevo. Exactly one month later, austria-hungary declared war on. The war divided europe into two armed camps - on one side was the triple alliance made up of. Germany, austria-hungary and italy, and their enemy was the triple entente of france, russia and great. As other countries began to join sides, the triple alliance became known as the central powers and the triple entente became the allied forces. Science and industry made this war far more lethal than any previous conflict had ever been; and when it ended peace turned out to be elusive. Old empires of germany, austria-hungary, and ottoman turkey were broken up, the new nations that arose from the wreckage emerged with their own sets of problems.
