Archduke Ferdinand Assassination

It is June 18, 1914, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie of Austria have just gotten assassinated. This is leading the a lot of fighting and it is causing many conflicts. They have gotten killed by a Bosnian Serb Nationalist! Austria-Hungary immediately blamed the Serbian government for the attack which makes this all very confusing. The giant and powerful Russia is supporting  Serbia, and Austria asked for help from Germany but Germany stepped in on its side against Russia and its allies, including France and possibly Great Britain. It is now July 28 and Austria-Hungary has declared war against Serbia. They are saying that this is the start of the world war.

5 Years Later..
