A 19-year-old Serbian student, Gavrilo Princip, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo in June 1914. This sparked World War I as Serbia was allied with Russia against Austria-Hungary who was allied with Germany. The war was fought across Europe along borders between France-Germany, Germany-Russia, and Austria-Italy. It also spread to colonies in Africa and the Pacific. Germany lost naval battles in the North Sea and its submarine attacks on civilian ships like the Lusitania led the US to join the Allies against Germany in 1917.

Rising nationalism across Europe upset the traditional balance of power and led countries like Germany and Serbia to seek to expand their territory. An arms race between European powers exacerbated tensions, as did tight networks of alliances that pulled more countries into local conflicts.

Ferdinand was the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne until his assassination in 1914. While visiting Sarajevo, a member of a Serbian terrorist group shot and killed Ferdinand and his wife. Austria-Hungary responded by declaring war on Serbia, which caused an escalating series of declarations that led major European powers into World War I.World War 1

World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist. This triggered a series of alliances that drew the major powers of Europe into war. The war was caused by militarism, imperialism, nationalism, and a system of interlocking alliances. It resulted in over 15 million military and civilian casualties and ended with the defeat of the Central Powers by the Allied forces in 1918. The Treaty of Versailles and its harsh terms against Germany set the stage for World War II.Assassinating the archduke

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists in Sarajevo in 1914 directly led to World War I through a series of events. A Serbian radical group called the Black Hand planned the assassination to protest Austria's annexation of Bosnia. Their attempt with a grenade failed but Archduke Ferdinand was shot later when his driver took a wrong turn. Austria declared war on Serbia, drawing in allies on both sides through a system of alliances. Within a few weeks, the major European powers were at war due to the interconnecting web of defense agreements and the desire of countries to defend their interests, setting the stage for a four-year global war.Lecture nov 19th british in africa

Samoil Mirza was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian photographer best known for taking the only photographs of the 1918 Great National Assembly at Alba Iulia, where Transylvania united with Romania. Born in Transylvania, Mirza apprenticed as a photographer and served in World War I, becoming one of Romania's first war photographers. In late 1918, he traveled to Alba Iulia to photograph the unification assembly, taking the historic images that documented Romania's national day. His photographs became politically and historically significant as representations of Transylvania joining Romania.The Barbary Corsairs

The Barbary Zorsairs
The Ottoman Empire became the dominant power in the Mediterranean after the fall of Byzantium in 1453. They hired pirates known as corsairs, including Greek sailor Hizir Barbarossa, to defend their coasts. Rather than just stealing cargo, the corsairs began kidnapping Europeans for slavery in North Africa. Many enslaved people ended up doing hard labor or working in harems. Some European pirates even converted to Islam to join the corsairs, such as the Dutch pirate Jan Janzoon. In the late 1700s, Western powers like America and France began cracking down on the corsairs and waging war to end their piracy andCrisis in the balkans review updated

The Balkans region was known as a powder keg due to high nationalist tensions between its countries including Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania and Greece. Serbia's goal was to unite all Slavic people, worrying Austria-Hungary who ruled over many Slavs. When Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1908, tensions rose further. By 1914, tensions increased as Serbia gained territory and power in the region, worrying Austria-Hungary. That June, Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne, was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist group, prompting Austria to issue Serbia an ultimatum backed by Germany, leading to World War I.Alien invasion

The document describes Columbus' arrival in the Americas in 1492 and questions whether this was truly the first contact between European and indigenous peoples. It provides several examples of possible early contacts, such as Viking settlements in Canada in 1000 AD, Olmec stone heads resembling Africans, and alloys used by Native Americans matching those in Africa. The document suggests Europeans were motivated to find trade routes to Asia in search of valuable spices following increased demand after the Crusades exposed them to Asian goods. Portugal succeeded in reaching Asia by sailing around Africa, so Spain took a chance on reaching Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic.Links and Factoids

Prof. Leonel and Prof. Dennis approached educational uses, practices, and strategies of using immersion as a lens to interpret, design, and planning educational activities in a sustainable way. Rather than one-off gimmicks, the intent is to enable instructors (and institutions) to be able to include them in their regular activities, including the ability to evaluate and redesign them.
Immersion as a phenomenon enables interpreting pedagogical activities in a learning-agnostic way: you take a stance on the learning theory to follow, and leverage immersion to envision and guide your practice.Energy Balances Of Oecd Countries 2011 Iea Statistics 1st Edition Oecd
