Best Answer

The immediate cause was the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne, and his wife by two Bosnian Serbs in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. But the events that followed were so complicated that Barbara Tuchman's book *The Guns of August* provides a valuable insight into the compulsion to wage war. JFK was reading it during the Cuban missile crisis, aware of the danger of rushing into war.
