With the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, major conflict arose between ethnic Serbs and Austro-Hungarians, causing these two European areas (and their allies) to turn towards war against one another.

Explanation:

With the assassination, Germany joined forces with Austria Hungary, while Russia was in the support of Serbia. Austria began issuing ultimatums towards Serbia and executed the ethnic cleansing of Serbs from their area. This caused much fear to erupt from the peoples of society, and was a short term cause of World War 1, which was widely unpopular among most countries (specifically axis societies like Germany).
