You can't forget the Austo-Hungarian Empire using the assassination of Franz Ferdinand as a pretext to invade Serbia.
- NotableAlamode 11y agoPlease don't forget that that assassination was planned, coordinated and paid for by the Serbian government via Serbian military intelligence chief, Dragutin Dimitrijevic. Serbia was aided in this by the Russian military attache in Belgrade (Viktor Artamonov). Russian radio intelligence was able to read Austro-Hungarian diplomatic cables so they probably were aware of what Vienna’s reaction to the assassination they were sponsoring would be.
