100 YEARS SINCE THE GREAT WAR

100 years since today, the Archduke and Archduchess of the Austrian Habsburg Empire were shot on a street in Sarajevo (in our days' Bosnia-Herzegovina) by a nationalistic student.
Which triggered the outbreak of one Great War, the Great War of its days (with trenches, gatling guns, fighter planes, chlorine...).

"The Wind in the Willows shows the increase and shift in population that occurred prior to World War I; society had developed new ways of communication, and many, unhappy with their own lot, were quick to take advantage of someone else suffering a setback. The takeover of Toad Hall by the weasels is also representative of the imperialism or military aggression that existed in the pre-war days. When Badger suggested his plan for retrieving the Hall, they looked forward to the proposed action. They sang mottos and had romantic visions. This was not unlike many men prior to the first world war. The romance and adventure of war intrigued them."

They called it the war to end all wars, which is ironic in hindsight...
