Historical Musings

Last read of 2025 an absolute banger. New detailed account of the opening days/weeks of WW1. Using significant amount of first hand experience, both soldiers and civilians. Also covers the experience around entire globe. Fantastic read and addition to the library. Highly recommended. #ww1 #fww #greatwar #history #militaryhistory

#FotoVorschlag: Tatort // Crime scene

Tatort #Sarajevo: Hier, an der #Lateinerbrücke, wurden der Thronfolger Österreich-Ungarns, Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand, und seine Frau durch ein Attentat getötet. Der bzw. die Täter gehörten einer nationalistischen Jugendbewegung an, deren Ziel es war, eine Revolution vom Zaun zu brechen, Bosnien-Herzegowina von der österreich-ungarischen Herrschaft zu befreien und idealerweise mit Serbien und anderen südslawischen Nationen zu einem unabhängigen Nationalstaat zu vereinen (Jugoslawien, ick hör dir trapsen). Daraufhin wollte Österreich-Ungarn mit Rückendeckung vom Deutschen Kaiserreich Serbien mit einem unmöglichen Ultimatum eine Lektion erteilen, was wiederum Russland gar nicht nett fand. Durch die verschiedenen Allianzen wurden immer mehr Länder in den Konflikt hineingezogen und kurze Zeit später wütete der Erste Weltkrieg. Bloß gut, dass wir alle was draus gelernt haben! 🙄

A Sarajevo crime scene: Here, by the #LatinBridge, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated alongside his wife by a nationalist student group. Their act was intended to provoke rebellion against Austro-Hungarian rule, and unite Bosnia and Herzegovina with Serbia and other South Slavic nations as a cherry on top (Yugoslavia, anyone?). Austria-Hungary, backed by the German Empire, responded with a harsh ultimatum to teach Serbia a lesson. Serbia's ally Russia was not amused and soon, more and more allied countries were pulled into the conflict and the First World War was in full swing. Thank goodness we all learned our lesson from that! 🙄

The First World War (1914-18) was the first global conflict, the first mechanised conflict, and the first to involve civilians far from the fighting front. #History #Warfare #EasternFront #FirstWorldWar #GreatWar #ItalianFront #WesternFront #WorldWarI #WWI #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/9-316-en/

Last book of 2025 and an absolute delight. Great read. Really brings to life the opening weeks of the Great War from so many perspectives. Driven by first person accounts. Examines action from all corners of the world. Highly recommend. #book #history #WW1 #GreatWar #militaryhistory
