The answers to all of your questions can be found in an average high school book, on Wikipedia, in libraries, in many historical works, in many pop history works, one is almost tempted to say virtually anywhere where one might go to look for information about a historical subject.

>Why did some Serbs kill Franz Ferdinand?
Serbs in empire wanted independence or an yugoslavic state but Franz Ferdinand would have only granted them more autonomy in his proposed concept of the "United States of Greater Austria" but since Serbs are retards and don't like compromise the Black Hand assassinated him

WW1 started in 1885 at the Berlin conference. The killing of Franz Ferdinand was just the trigger.
It was inevitable.

Because Franz Ferdinand was the biggest liberal reformer in the Austrian aristocracy. His plan for saving the empire was increased autonomy and federalism for everyone. Since this would greatly hurt Serbia's efforts to agitate the A-H slavic populations for their own gain, Franz Ferdinand had to die.

As a related note to this, Austria really wasn't too sad to see him dead because of his reformer nature. The Habsburgs were extremely traditionalist, so they were all extremely relieved that not only was the only liberal in the bunch dead, they could use his death as a casus belli to go stomp on the Serbs.

And then Karl took the throne in 1916 and tried to do the same things anyways, so they fucked Austria-Hungary for nothing.

Where are you getting this utter bullshit? Do you know anything about the historiography of the causes?

>>1668666
Franz Ferdinand also married a low born woman against the wishes of his family and breaking a long Habsburg tradition, so everyone in the upper nobility was treating him and his wife like shit, for that reason he had a distaste for rest of his family, he also came to odds with Franz Joseph a lot, especially regarding treatment of Serbs, Ferdinand thought that harsh treatment would only make them more instable and it's one of the reasons he wanted to go to Bosnia despite being warned of the assassination plot.

He also liked being outside of Austria regularly because foreign rulers often gave Ferdinand and Sophie full honours as equals, while in Austria Sophie was not even allowed to attend to events with Ferdinand as their equal and couldn't even enter theatres with him for example. Ferdinand resented his family for this a great deal.

Hasburgs would continue to expand on the Balkan and Serbs would be next, so they killed him to protect themselves.

Also, WW1 mostly started, because of the tensions that were caused, because of the unequel ownership of the colonies. Germans and Italians were late to the party and they wanted their fair share, but England and France told them to fuck off. It had a lot of factor that ultimately led to one of the most pointless wars in the history of humanity.

P.S - Watch All Quiet On The Western Front.
