The Great Schism was between the B) Greek Orthodox Church and the C) Roman Catholic Church. This started at the beginning of the 11th Century and was a break of the communion, due to theological disputes regarding the Holy Spirit, whether leavened or unleavened bread should be used, the Pope's claim to universal jurisdiction and the place of Constantinople in relation to the Pentarchy.
It was a trigger that showed that there were two competing powers in Europe: Russia and Austria-Hungary (and their allies).
Franz Ferdinand was killed by a Serbian separatist and the Austrians wanted to see him punished. On the other hand, Russia supported Serbia is saying that Austrian demands ( to be allowed to search for the culprit inside Serbia) were too much.

This led to a chain of events that ended in the destruction of German democracy: With the government unable to win a majority in the Reichstag, laws could only be passed by presidential decree. As a result, not enough action was taken to tackle the economic and social consequences of the Depression and Germans increasingly began to look to the political extremes for answers.
