3) russias quest for a warm water port
4) assassination of austro-hungarian throne

Answer 1

4) The assassination of Austro-Hungary's Archduke Ferdinand, the successor to the throne.

The sinking of the Lusitania happened several years later and was the casus belli for America's entry into the war in 1917.

The Russian desire for a warm water port was the cause of the Crimean War.

The dispute over Alsace-Lorraine was the cause of the Franco-Prussian war

Answer 2

Arch-duke Ferdinand was assassinated on a trip to Yugoslavia, I think. That was the shot heard round the world. It became a World War because of the many alliances between the countries. Austria, Germany and others on one side and England, France, etc., on the other. The sinking of the Lusitania (a neutral ship) with American citizens on board brought the US into it.

Russia pulled out of the war when the people rebelled against the Czar.

Answer 3

4) Assassination of Austro-Hungarian Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.

And actually honey, the "shot heard 'round the world" is typically used to describe the American Revolution. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote the "Concord Hymn" in 1837 about the battle at Old North Bridge:
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled;
Here once the embattled farmers stood;
And fired the shot heard 'round the world.

Answer 4

The biggest cause was the assaination of the Archduke Ferdinand at Sarajevo by Serbian Nationalists. THE AH empire could hardly do nothing when the heir to the throne had been murdered so it demanded that Serbia bring the perpetrators to trial. Serbia fudged answering the demand knowing it had the backing of Russia. The system of alliances when German backed Austria and france backed Russia - all came into play within a very short time an soon most of Europe was at war. In many ways it was an extension of industrialisation applied to warfare for the first time (with mobilisation by railway for example).
