I swear to God. This video has explained better than my teacher and textbook.

They were all just looking for an excuse to fight it out.

Seems like getting back in the car after the first attack was a very dumb thing to do.... *shakes head *

It also changed the course of human history entirely.
Weren't for that, the 20th century and beyond would be unrecognisable.

That's why you need a good chaufer

This was well explained and it gave lots of specific details. I really enjoy watching History Channel on T.V because you lean more about the past than you do in the future. Thanks History for making the past present for people who want to :)

It wasn't really the chauffeur's fault. I think he was just following the cars in front. In any case, there was a lot of confusion as to the route the motorcade should be taking because it was changed just a few minutes before to accommodate the Archduke's wish to visit his wounded minders in hospital.

I remember my history teacher telling us a kid caused WW1 lol

Just like how Ned Stark visited Kings landing to die and start the game of thrones

Sad Franz wanted to do the more humane thing and visit the injured. That nobel decision sealed his and his wife's fate.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria? I thought not. It's not a story the serbs would tell you. It's a history legend. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was the heir of a great Emporer, destined to united all ethnicities, but was murdered, and so WWI started, and the once great empire felt.

Kingsman really potraited this scene very well

[Lisaxgfx]

I really like this video I do feel really sad that Ferdinand & his wife died and I honor him <3
From this day on!

Basically, a teenager and a wrong turned killed millions of people.
Isn't that the butterfly effect

At 1:23, the person shown in the photo is the actual assassin Gavrilo Princip, and not the bomb-thrower Nedjelko Cabrinovic. The person later described as Gavrilo Princip is actually Trifko Grabez, one of the co-conspirators. Anyway, it's a good overall video.

So interestingly delivered. Description was impressive. 🎉
