Was World War 1 Necessary

Now comes the larger task, taking this understanding of necessary, and unnecessary, and asking, was World War One necessary? The definition of necessary mentions the “previous conditions of things”, so it is important to investigate the conditions that led to the First World War. What is known is this: on Sunday, June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by a member of the Black Hand, a group who operated unofficially under the approval of the Serbian Government. In the months afterward, the world would see multiple countries mobilize and the beginning of a war that no one had ever even imagined. Somehow this event sparked one of the worst disasters in the history of the
world. At first glance the situation seem unrelated, but the politics and alliances between European countries at this time cause one small incident to grow into a global catastrophe.
