Editing Ultimatum (section)

==Requirement for military action==  
An ultimatum may also serve to provide legitimacy for military action. During the [[July Crisis]], [[Austria-Hungary]] sent a Ten point ultimatum to Serbia in response to the [[Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand]], with the most contentious point being for Serbia to "Accept representatives of the Austro-Hungarian government for the suppression of subversive movements". The Ultimatum was controversial among other European powers, with the Russian foreign minister saying that no state could accept such demands without "committing suicide." Serbia refused to accept all ten demands, and on July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary would declare war on Serbia, beginning the [[First World War]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=TWE Remembers: Austria-Hungary Issues an Ultimatum to Serbia |url=https://www.cfr.org/blog/twe-remembers-austria-hungary-issues-ultimatum-serbia |access-date=2022-11-18 |website=Council on Foreign Relations |language=en}}</ref>
