What event was the spark that ignited world war i? the assassination of archduke ferdinand the assassination of tsar nicholas ii the rise of mutual defense alliances the capitulation of the serbian nationalists

(1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The archduke was in Sarajevo in June 1914 to inspect the armed forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina were annexed by Austria-Hungry in 1908. The Serbians hated this annexation because they believed that Bosnia- Herzegovina was a part of Serbia. The archduke was killed by the Serbian nationalists. This assassination led to a chain of events that culminated in the first world war. Austria-Hungry declared war on Serbia on 28th July. Russia entered the war in support of Serbia and Germany in support of Austria-Hungary.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
