    The document discusses the origins and causes of World War I. It began with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 which led to escalating tensions between the great powers of Europe and their allies. Multiple factors contributed to the outbreak of war, including militarism, nationalism, imperialism, and a system of alliances that drew more countries into the fighting. The war quickly escalated from a regional conflict into a global war of unprecedented scale and violence.
