Why it’s useful: This is lesson provides pupils with a useful start towards understanding the causation of WWI. I find it’s more useful to start with the short-term causes of WWI so that pupils are more engaged from the start.
Learning objectives:
To understand why Franz Ferdinand was killed.
To understand how Ferdinand’s assassination led to an escalation of tensions within Europe which resulted in WWI
To realise that Franz Ferdinand’s assassination was only the trigger in causing WWI. There were other underlying causes which caused WWI.

Thanks for sharing this, it certainly helped me build on my own knowledge from a visit to Sarajevo. I was intrigued by the sandwich story, and not having the book you referred to I googled it. It would appear the sandwich is a recent myth that has developed from a TV show. Apologies if this is mentioned somewhere and I missed it but here is the link I found. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/gavrilo-princips-sandwich-79480741/
