The assassination
The consequences of the assassination
-Three weeks after the assassination, Austria-Hungary sent Serbia an ultimatum.
-The Austrians held Serbia responsible for the assassination and demanding that the Serb government round up anti-Austrian agitators.
-The Austro-Hungarians knew that Serbia could not agree to the terms of the ultimatum. The refusal of Serbia to grant the demands would provide Austria-Hungary with the reason they wanted to declare war.-
