On this date in 1914- The Shot Heard Around The World-Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian student shoots and kills Archduke Franz Ferdinand-the heir to the Austro-Hungarian thone who is visiting Serajevo in Bosnia. Princip told police he was taking revenge for oppression of Serbs. This would be the event that got World War I rolling the so called “War To End All Wars” The war would go on until November 1918- over ten million deaths. Without WWI there wouldn’t have been the conditions that would start WWII. We are still dealing with what happened 98 years ago in Serajevo.
