I’m not a history buff, and all I know is that his death set off a Rube Goldberg machine of Politics that led to everyone fighting everyone else. Can someone simplify it for me?

In the exact same way world War 3 will start if we allow Ukraine into NATO right now. Alliances / treaties. When war broke out in Austria their allies were mandated by treaty to defend them, and their enemies allies were mandated to defend them in turn. So you get a fight between 2 parties dragging in everyone else.
