Today we begin part one of our two part series on one of the largest global conflicts in history, World War One. Although history classes led us to believe the infamous assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand was the spark that thrusted the world into a fight for the ages, this may have not been the case. We'll discuss the real reasons behind World War One and how the assassination of the Arch Duke was simply the straw that broke the camels back. We also detail the many technological advancements in warfare that had one goal in mind: kill as many people as quickly as possible. Learn how the "war to end all wars" only made matters much worse.
