In what War were there more deaths? WWI or WWII?

WWI 15 Million

WWII 55 Million

Still many say WWI, since many causes of WWII are traced back to the first.

BYE BYE Empires! Hello States!

Origins and Causes WWI began in Balkans, the small

kingdom of Serbia. Serbia did not like the way the

Ottoman Empire did things, So they allied with Greece, Bulgaria, and Montenegro to win a series of victories.

Serbia wanted to be its own state.

Once upon a timeIt was a sunny day when the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was strolling the streets of Bosnia…..

When all of a sudden….

Who Shot the Duke?

“Union or Death”, a small secret Bosnian serbian organization, sent three men to assassinate Ferdinand. Gavrilo Princip, Stepped up and shot the duke and his wife.

Ultimatum When Austria was confirmed that it was

the U.O.D who had planned the assassination Austria automatically thought Serbia as a country was to blame.

Austria told Serbia to avoid war with them they had to agree to cease all anti-Austria propaganda.

Basically eliminating sovereignty in Serbia

FIGHT! Serbia said no to the ultimatum

because “Russia got my back!” And then Austria was all like “Oh Yeah

Germany got my back!” Then they were all like “ITS ON!”

On that note, on July 28 Austria declared war on Serbia.
