Was in Sarajevo, Bosnia - Correct?
When Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serb and blah blah blah Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia who was part of an alliance that brought Russia and France into the war, and then Austria-Hungary had a treaty that brought Germany into the war if a superpower attacked.
I was arguing with some idiot and he was claiming that my "dum yanke books" are wrong and that he lives in Serbia and so he would know.

WWI discussion, yay. Really, this was my favorite subject in school. Too bad it was so short. So many things came up in this war, the use of planes in battle, tanks, AA guns.

That's what they say and write but there's no proof that it really was someone from Serbia. Some people think ~~they can outsmart me~~ it was a disguised German assassin.

Halfway through the argument he changed the topic to something about Americans fighting Indians so I just kicked him out of the lobby (This went on over Game Ranger)

Yet it's true.

WWI didn't really start immediately after the assassination of the duke. Austria-Hungary gave Serbia a list of demands which were intentionally unacceptable (don't exactly know what they are), and when Serbia pretty much denied them, Austria-Hungary declared war on them.

I don't really know much about this, I just used Wikipedia.

Anyone remember these? Gosh, they're so cute!
