20. Jahrhundert: 1914-1945 | Erster Weltkrieg
From European War to World War
June 28th 1914: Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife are killed by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo. The assassination makes headlines throughout Europe and triggers a fatal alliance dynamic. Not only will the major European powers soon be at war, but with the entry of allied nations and colonial troops, fighting escalates into a world war. Modern military technology - artillery, gas, air and submarine warfare - claims victims on an unprecedented scale. "This is not war, this is the end of the world", as a soldier of the British Indian troops writes home.
