Archduke Franz Ferdinand Wasn’t The Only Casualty That Day

It was a Serbian plot to assassinate the heir to the Austrian/Hungarian
throne. Austria wanted to immediately attack Serbia, but showed
restraint because Russia was backing the Serbs. Germany’s Kaiser
gave Austria German support.
It is unfair to blame only Germany for the start of World War 1, one
could point their finger at Austria, Serbia, Russia, and even France.
Guarantees were being made that encouraged hostilities a certainty.
Unfortunately history shows the loser usually gets all the blame.
