Austria felt that Serbia was overreaching its territorial boundaries and that the only way to forestall it was a preventive war. The death of Ferdinand provided a convenient excuse to go to war with Serbia. In support of Serbia, Russia mobilized its forces against Austria-Hungary, who had declared war on Serbia. Germany declared war on Russia. The United Kingdom and France, allies of Russia, also entered the conflict.

A web of alliances existed between many European countries. Austria allied with Germany, and Serbia allied with Russia. The alliances obligated each country to go to war on behalf of its allies. This dragged more and more countries into the war. The war pitted the Central Powers, consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria, against the Allied Powers, consisting of the United Kingdom, France, Russia and Italy. The United States ultimately entered the war on the Allied side.

What were President Kennedy's hopes for the March on Washington?

QveST [7]

The correct answer is - that it would be a mild and peaceful protest.

President Kennedy was hoping that the March on Washington would be a mild and peaceful one. On the other hand, he was fearing that the March on Washington will be an aggressive one and end up very badly. Because of his fears, he met with the organizers of the protest in order to reassure him that they will not cause any violence, and that they will try to keep the things in control so that there's no violence. The leaders of the protest were reassuring the president that they have no intentions of being violent, bu that they want their voices to be heard, and the African Americans to be treated the same way as the other people in the country, to have their rights, and the racism to be put in the past.
