"aboput"? --Hey, you took so little care with your question, it's hard to believe you are serious, or that your question rates a serious answer.

The assisination of the Archduke led to the war due to the very pre-established systems of response established in each country. In military science, WWI is a part of The Age of Systems, a period defined by its concentration on the supply and pre-planning military action beginning with Napolean and his concentration on logistics, extending through the writings of the preparation-minded Admiral Bradley Fiske and not at all stopping with the formation of the General Staff as a means of dealing with supply. Heck, in many ways, our nuclear arsenal is in the age of systems, and we're just as afraid of it leading to an unintended war

Yes, the assassination was the final straw... war had been brewing in Europe for a while.

That's the official version.
Then again, the official version is that the Iran/Iraq war started with the destruction of the world trade center .......
