Austria-Hungary
In my opinion, Austria-Hungary should be blamed the most for the outbreak of World
War One due to the fact that first, Austria-Hungary took over Bosnia and blamed Bosnians for
the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Secondly, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia due
to their agreement with only two terms of the ultimatum. Lastly, Austria-Hungary decided to
cooperate with Germany for war preparation, which ended up with the the major involvement of
Germany and other European countries as well.
First of all, Austria-Hungary took over Bosnia in 1908. The Bosnian Crisis enraged many
Serbians who believed Bosnia should be a part of Serbia. The awful relationship made between
Austria-Hungary and Serbia created major conflicts between the two countries. …show more content…
Consequently, Austria-Hungary strongly agreed to work with Germany. Which
can be proven by the time period took for war preparation after the death of Franz Ferdinand
until the date of declaration of war on Serbia. Right after the assassination on June 28th,1914,
Germany encouraged Austria-Hungary to work together on July 6th, which proved that the two
countries already had some agreements with each other. On July 26th, about a month later
Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia confidently. A question that can be asked is what
happened during that few weeks before the war on Serbia? A source from Raffael Scheck, the
history professor of Colby College said:”Austria-Hungary was Germany’s last ally and thus
seemed to deserve support at all cost.” Which again proved there was a strong alliance between
Germany and Austria-Hungary. The evidences supported the argument that Austria-Hungary
and Germany were preparing for war during the month of July in order to declare war on
