Investigating the collapse of the alliance system, knowledge of the Schlieffen Plan, and the nationality of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassin would all be relevant in understanding the reasons why his assassination sparked World War I. The role that East African soldiers played in the war, however, would not directly relate to the specific catalyst of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
