The fundamental cause of the outbreak of the Great War, or World War I, was the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914. Following the murder, Austria sided with Serbia in a war. Russia then got ready to stand up for its friend Serbia. Germany wanted to dismantle the French-Russian alliance and was willing to accept the chance that doing so would spark a big conflict. A few members of the German aristocracy were excited about the idea of starting an expansionist war of conquest. Russia, France, and later Britain responded in a reactionary and defensive manner. After four years of fighting and the loss of about 8.5 million soldiers to disease or combat injuries, the Allies were able to end World War I.
