With reference to these sources and your understanding of the historical context, which of these sources is more valuable in explaining why the July crisis led to the outbreak of war in 1914? Source A is an extract from the official ultimatum issued to Serbia by the Austrio-Hungarian government following the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian throne, on the 28nd of June 1914. As it is an official document direct from the Austro-Hungarian government, this…
1. Chic Paints Ltd (CPL) is a private limited company that manufactures paints and allied products to meet the highest international standards. CPL was previously a subsidiary of Ashstead Plc but was the subject of a management buyout (MBO) when it was put up for sale in 2007.

blank cheque to the Austro-Hungarian Empire in order to assure them they had their support in case anything occurred. The commonality between the players of world war one was to ultimately build a stronger nation which would dominate Europe, these nations were competitive in nature; the main competition being to strengthen military power, expand globally, gain prestige and strengthen the image of the nation.
