We all know the name of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. We all know his assassination and the start of the Great War, the War to End All Wars, World War 1. But do we know the history? Do we know why? My guess is that you probably don't. In this episode we dive into the events that led up to that fateful day in 1914. We will cover the family drama that changed the world. We will weave for you the intricate story of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and the tale of two Franzes - Franz Joseph and Franz Ferdinand.
