Nationalism throughout various countries in Europe contributed to the extension of the war in Europe. In June of 1914, a terrorist group known as the Black Hand assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand. This was protest to Austria-Hungary having control over Serbia. This assassination lead to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia.
