If there had not been a system of military alliances in place in Europe in 1914, would the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand have resulted in World War I? Explain your answer.

Most likely not. I'm assuming you mean alliances as in people having allies as countries. So if there had not been alliances between countries, there would not have ended up being a World War because of the fact that it would have stayed between those two countries. It would have been a catastrophe for the throne but it would have stayed between Austria and Bosnia and not have involved the other countries. It may have made a war between those countries and others who thought what happened was right or wrong (as in taking sides) but since they had allies it was more or less required that Austria-Hungary's allies joined in and Bosnia's allies joined on their side to fight something that should've not even happened in the first place.
