William B Stoecker: At about eleven in the morning on 6/28/1914 the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, were riding in the Bosnian city of Sarajevo when a young Bosnian Serb, Gavrilo Princip shot and killed them both. This led to an Austrian ultimatum upon Serbia and then a declaration of war. Russia then came in on the side of Serbia, and Germany rushed to aid their ally, Austria. Fearing that France might attack while Germany was engaged in the fight against Russia, the German leaders invaded France, hoping to knock the French out of the war before the Russians could mobilize.
