Austria-Hungary's ultimatum presented to Serbia was the "spark" that ignited the Great War. (True or False)
Monica [59]

The correct answer is False.

Explanation

The First World War was a European warlike confrontation that began on July 28, 1914, and ended on November 11, 1918, with the signing of an armistice. During this confrontation, the great European powers of the time were involved, making up two sides in which different countries were allied. One of the coalitions was the Triple Alliance made up of the German Empire and Austria-Hungary. The other coalition was the Triple Entente made up of the United Kingdom, France, and the Russian Empire. The beginning of this war was characterized by a decisive event that was the assassination of the Archduke of Austria-Hungary Francisco Fernando on June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo at the hands of a young Serbian nationalist. This triggered the ultimatum towards the Kingdom of Serbia. According to the above, the answer is false because the spark that ignited the Great War was the assassination of the Archduke.
