The assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand was the immediate cause of World War I. He was killed by a Serbian terrorist, which caused Austria to declare war on Serbia. Serbia was allied with Russia, who intervened, causing Germany to declare war on Russia, which caused France to declare war on Germany.

The 'spark' that caused WW1 would be the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary.

There are long term causes that date back to the late 1800s.
