Historians separate the long-term causes of an event from the spark that sets it off. World War I is a clear example. Long-term causes included militarism, alliances, imperialism and nationalism, often remembered as MAIN. European powers had built huge armies and promised to defend one another. The spark came on June 28, 1914, when a Bosnian Serb nationalist shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo. Within weeks, the alliances pulled most of Europe into war.
