  1. He was a self proclaimed yugolsav nationalist. Mlada Bosna was literally multi ethnically and a other guy failed on his attempt to kill Ferdinand on the same day

    Was Muhamed Mehmedbašić also a Serb nationalist ? The ethnic composition was mixed in Mlada Bosna. 

  2. Und Ungarn ist indirekt schuld wie auch an der Niederlage im Krieg

  4. Und darauf folgten 2 Weltkriege und Konsequenzen die wir bis heute noch spüren.

  6. Love how Serbs are now one of the largest minorities in Austria yet were responsible for the fall of their Empire(also Italians).

  7. In this context, it is very interesting to research more about the Serbian secret military society Black Hand.

  8. Die Ironie dahinter ist Franz Ferdinand war entschiedener Gegner des Angriffskrieges gegen Serbien und sagte sehr treffend die Folgen für das Reich vorraus.

  9. Every year, a few days around June 28th, the shirt Franz Ferdinand wore when he was shot, is displayed at the Heeresgeschichtliche Museum.

    They only display it for a few days every year, to prevent damage by sunlight. It is a morbid sight, but I highly recommend it to people who are in Vienna right now and are interested in WW I.
