Causative Factors in World War I: The Austro-Hungarian Empire

Abstract: A 5 page discussion of the people, events, and circumstances that contributed to the outbreak of World War I. The author contends that although the assassination of the Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand, is considered by some to be a primary factor in the outbreak of World War I; in reality the social stratification that that assassination resulted from was a more important factor. That stratification, in fact, dates back to a much earlier point in history. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
