The Wrong Turn That Sparked World War One

A sequence of bizarre coincidences in Sarajevo altered the course of human history forever. After an initial bomb attack failed, the Archduke's driver took a wrong turn and stalled the car directly in front of one of the conspirators, Gavrilo Princip, who happened to be standing outside a deli. Princip pulled his pistol and fired, killing the royal couple. This single event triggered a web of European alliances that dragged the entire globe into the trenches of the First World War. #worldwar1 #historyfacts #militaryhistory #europeanhistory #shorts
