World War I
ETHAN DICKINSON AND WILLIAM MEARS

Why the War started
When Frenz Ferdinand, arch duke of the Austro-Hungry, and his wife Sophie were on their way to a hospital in Sarajavo one of the cars following them was blown up. Later on, Franz Ferdinand defended a bomb with his arm but sadly when the driver tried to miss the Leader Gavrilo Princip by turning down a back lane unfortunately, Gavrillo princip was hidding in the hedge ready to jump out and shoot. When they turned off, the leader jumped out and shot Sophie in the stomach. Shortly after she died. A few seconds later, Franz Ferdinand was shot in his neck. This gave Austro-Hungry the chance to invade Serbia and take rule the country.
