I Have Something Random To Say
Who knows how World War 1 began? For those who don't here it is.
It began when the heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne was assassinated by a Serbian revolutionary in Bosnia in June of 1914.
Russia warned Austria not to attack Serbia. Austria disregarded the warning; Russia moved troops to the Austrian and German borders. Germany mobilized to counter this threat. France was warned by Germany to stay out of the Russian-German conflict. France replied too vaguely for Germany's satisfication, and Germany declared war on France.
Germany than invaded supposedly neutral Belgium. Great Britain was committed to protect Belgian neutrality and declared war on Germany.
Lol. As I am writing this I realize that about half of the countries who started WW1 are where my ancestors are from.
(E.g. Germany, Great Britain, and Belgium.)
