But, the ultimate source of war is the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and to his spouse. This is why the war is trigger. However, there were numerous reasons and cause to start the war. The prevalent efficacy of nationalism, the unsettled problems in the empire of Austria-Hungary was the equal importance in this war. The clash between among imperialist had been more extensive with the new imperialism. At end of this war, the Russian Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, German Empire and the Ottoman Empire had exit to the war. After this war between different states, the League of Nation was formed with the intent to stop such quarrel. But, unfortunately, it is not successful to enact policy among states.

The UN also develops a policy designed to reconcile and facilitate laws in the regulations on international trade. They are also the one who develop the international environmental law. For example, because of the huge emission of carbon of the industrialized countries that can cause a global warming and harm on the developing countries, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change make an agreement which is called Kyoto protocol, that demand to reduce the emissions of major greenhouse gases on the industrialized countries. (UN Web Services Section | Department of Public Information, 2009). The United Nations has an importance in addressing the issues on global, economic and social issues since United Nations is the one who is implementing policies among states when they are signatory to this. Thus, the Charter of United Nations helps to keep the international placidity and sanctuary; to obtain a potent general measures for the suppression of indication of danger on peace. It also gives policy on a settlement of international disputes among territory. It also recuperates better relations between nations on the basis of self determination and equal rights. The Charter of UN also helps to attain collaboration to solve an
The country has a new viewpoint of peace and joins other countries to create the United Nations, as a way to keep world peace and settle foreign affairs. “The United States now exerts a tremendous influence in the cause of peace throughout all the world” (Document F). Additionally, the charter for the United Nations was signed on June 26, 1945 and came into force on October 24, 1945. “We the peoples of the United Nations determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind” (Document G).

The prince was Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his assassination basically lead to WW1. Austria-Hungary then declared war after the assassination of prince Archduke and his wife Sophie. When Austria-Hungary declared war upon Serbia, Serbia then called their big brothers Russia. Russia then declared
The UN Charter also begins by affirming “faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small.” (………). The first major accomplishment of the UN in the case of human rights was the implementation by the General Assembly of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. The Universal Declaration was a milestone achievement in the history of the world. It was the first time that the rights and freedoms of every human being were set out in such detail (……).
However, due to the poor execution and non participation of the defeated Germany the treaty only fostered future tensions and set the stage for another world war. The Great War, which it was referred to at the time, began with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand the heir of the Austria-Hungarian empire in Bosnia in 1914.Due to the alliance system between the European countries and the huge build up of militaries the event triggered a war so massive that about hundred countries participated in the fighting. The countries were divided between the Allies and the Central Powers.
Veterans Day Veterans Day is an official holiday we celebrate on November 11th, we celebrate all those living and dead who served in the US armed forces. The formal name of Veterans day was Armistice day and was changed to Veteran’s day by President Eisenhower in 1954. The first Veterans day celebrated was on November 11th 1919, a year after World War I ended. Veterans day started when there was an agreement signed in 1918 on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to end World War I. Veteran’s Day is often confused with Memorial day but Memorial day is honoring the past military and Veteran’s day honors all, living and dead.
How did nationalism cause WW1? 1910-1919 Nationalism was the main cause of World War One. The direct result of it led to the militarization of Europe’s countries, nationalistic feelings in Yugoslavia, and the alliances formed before the war. Despite the common idea that the first world war started because of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination, it was only a reason for Austria-Hungary to declare war. Nationalism was the driving factor to his assassination, and would not have happened without it.
Causes of World War I World War I was the bar fight of all bar fights and was expected to end quickly. Unfortunately, the treacherous battle field held soldier's longer than expected. At first, Europe had been flourishing with colonies worldwide and had developed in technology greatly.
The June 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by the Serbian Black Hand Group, caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia. As their allies got involved this conflict grew into World War I (WWI). This event wasn’t the real cause of the war, it was just the spark that started it. Most people would say the causes were imperialism, nationalism, alliances and militarism.
Due to unfortunate circumstances, one of the assassins had the opportunity to shoot the Archduke since the driver had turned on the wrong road. Due to these nationalistic feelings between certain countries, World War I occurred since the collective consciousness among a nation’s people deeply impacted the rest of the world with its rebellion against a country. World War I was inevitable to occur since these people had seriously rebelled against a more powerful country and remained obstinate to continue their fight until they had achieved their desires. Eventually, other countries joined the conflict to side with either Austria-Hungary or the
Serbian nationalism was the most significant contributing factor in the Balkans to the outbreak of the First World War. Nationalist Serbs wanted the unity of Serbdom and to create a Greater Serbia that included the provinces Bosnia and Herzegovina. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand triggered the First World War and was prompted by the nationalism of the Serbs against Hapsburg control. If this trigger did not take place it would have been another event. But it is not surprising that it occurred in the Balkans; a volatile region, as Bismarck had predicted decades before; “ If there is ever another war in Europe, it will come out of some damned silly thin in the Balkans”.
The original causes of this war was the assassination, of Archduke Franz Ferdinand an heir to the Austrian thorn. Because seribian national was responsible for the assassination, Serbian and Austria-Hungary declared war on each other. Serbia become a participant by Austrian- Hungary war declaration. And also Russia-allied
World War 1 was the first global conflict as it was a struggle between the leading world powers in Europe that had colonised the 19th century. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Bosnia, heir to the Austrian-Hungary throne was a major trigger factor that led to the World War breaking out. It initially began as a European quarrel caused by the rivalry between nations which led to a series of mobilisations. In addition, there were many other vital factors to consider and these include Imperialism, Nationalism, Alliances and Militarism. This essay will explain how the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 triggered a number of events that led to the outbreak of World War 1.

(Royde-Smith 2017) Many scholars still debate the underlying causes of the war, because there are different aspects that contributed to the war. It was a chain of events that had started this e.g. imperialism, alliances, growth of militarism and nationalism. While there are many reasons, which lead to the war, the three most outstanding aspects are imperialism, militarism and the assasination of Franz Ferdinand.
