Introduction
The crisis of 1914 is known to be a diplomatic crisis which was among the major powers
of Europe in the summer of the year 1914 which led to World War 1. It was immediately after a
Yugoslav nationalist named Gavrilo Princip carried out the assassination of Archduke Franz who
was the likely heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne that there arose a series of diplomatic
maneuverings. It was an international crisis which just began with the assassination of Archduke
Franz in Sarajevo and later burst into the British declaration of war on Germany that is, on 4 of
August, then referred to as the July crisis of 1914. In the weeks that followed, the decisions made
resulted in the outbreak of the European war which later escalated into a world war that was of
unprecedented scale (Koch, 1979 p.98). This paper will certainly give an institutional
explanation of the crisis of 1914.
In a lecture on political science April 4, 2017 (p.5), Magagna explained the way in which
Europe got involved in the world war is and has been a big challenge which has led to the
division of historian scholars for many years now. The state remains controversial but with few
constant attempts of scientists to explain. The recent publications on the origin of July crisis, in
particular, acknowledge the fact that the crisis can only be easy to understand in the international
context. Probably, this may be possible by reviewing the events that proceeded on July of 1914
and then looking at the decisions that were arrived at in the European Great power governments.
All states of high power shared the fear that a massive European war shortly was
inevitable. It shows the decisions that were taken during the crisis. International tensions had
been a standard feature in the years before the outbreak of the very First World War. There was
