Which event had the immediate effect of causing Germany to declare war on the Allies? A) The Berlin Conference of 1885 sets off

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The Austrian archduke is assassinated.

Explanation:

On June 24, 1914, Francisco Fernando, archduke of Austria-Hungary, was visiting with his wife Sofia Chotek the city of Sarajevo, in the province of Bosnia Herzegovina, which at that time belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The visit, however, was not seen with good eyes, for many it was even a provocation. Among these was a group of young Serbian nationalists, who were fighting for Serbia to recover the province of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Several of them went out into the street and waited for the passage of the imperial caravan.

At around ten in the morning, chaos began. Nedjelko Cabrinovic, one of the young conspirators, threw a grenade at the decapitated carriage in which Francisco Fernando and Sofia were riding. The artifact, however, bounced in the back and when it exploded wounded several members of the entourage and spectators of the parade. The imperial couple was unhurt, but their guard team insisted that they cancel the tour. Francisco Fernando, however, decided on a new plan, to go to the hospital to visit an officer who had been injured, before continuing with the schedule for the day. This change of plans caused confusion among the drivers, who directed the convoy through streets where the conspirators were still located. One of them was Gavrilo Princip, a 19-year-old boy who ran into the caravan. The car of the royal couple passed just a few meters from Princip and there he shot Francisco Fernando in the neck and Sofia in the abdomen. Sofia died in the car, while Francisco Fernando died shortly after arriving at the governor's house.

The assassination of the archduke sparked a series of protests and a month later, on July 28th, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. That was just the beginning of an unstoppable snowball. Russia got involved because it already had an alliance with Serbia. Germany, which was an ally of Austria-Hungary, declared war on Russia. The United Kingdom, in turn, declared war on Germany, after the Germans invaded neutral Belgium, with whom the British had protection agreements, as well as with France.

An event leading to German surrender was:

Answer:

The United States joining the Allies.

Explanation:

From 1814 to 1917, neither side, Allies and Central Powers, were able to outmatch its opposing forces, which had resulted in a stalemate. And even though the U.S. officially entered the war on the Allied side in 1917, U.S. troops would be able to arrive in the battlefield until 1918. On the other hand, the Germans had forced Russia out of the war and a great number of troops that had been fighting the Russians were now freed and would arrive in the Western Front to fight against the British and French in the spring of 1918. As German military leaders clearly knew that these reinforcements would only temporarily give the German army an edge against the Allies, as the U.S. expeditionary forces were expected to arrive soon, an all-out offensive was planned and launched in the spring of 1918. At first, the troop reinforcements and use of new tactics resulted in great progress, but after a relatively short time the Allies managed to slow down and eventually stop the German offensive. Shortly after that, the U.S. troops arrived in France along with large amounts of supplies, whereas the German military economy was on the verge of collapsing. At this moment, the German High Command realized that the war was no longer winnable and could only manage to resist until the spring of 1919, albeit at a great cost of lives, as the German economy could not match the huge economic power of the United States, so they decided to request an armistice in November 1918, before more lives were lost uselessly.
