93 Years Ago in Sarajevo . . .
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Crown, and his wife Sophie, were assassinated by a member of the Serbian Black Hand terrorist group. Setting in motion the event that would trigger the Great War (or World War I if you prefer).
In a fit of historical irony, the Treaty of Versailles finally ending the Great War was signed on this date in 1919.
