Below is a list of relevant factors, concepts, people and events pertaining to the outbreak of WW1. You need to know the details and significance of each of these. Make flash cards, write them out or type them up in an Excel spread sheet.
Two sorting activities
Sorting activity 1:

Sorting activity 2:
