| - The 1914 Incident was a military conflict that occurred entirely within the year of 1914, lasting from late July to mid December. All fighting of the conflict occurred in Europe, aside from a few faraway naval battles. It pitted the forces of the Triple Entente (or Entente Powers) and their allies against the Central Powers and their allies. During the four and a half month conflict, approximately 160,000 military personnel and civilians were killed, half of whom were Russians. The conflict's trigger is usually considered to be the assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. Other causes, such as imperialistic foreign policy and the development of complex military alliances, also helped turn a would-be minor conflict into a larger one. Ferdinand's assassination at the hands of Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip resulted in Habsburg ultimatum against the Kingdom of Serbia. The military alliances that had been drawn up among the imperial nations were quickly invoked, resulted a continental war among the European powers.
