110 years ago a major conflict was raging on the European continent. It was the first major war since 1815 and was triggered by an assassination of an Austrian Arch-Duke the month prior. Many thought the conflict would have been over rather quickly but it would bog down into stalemate and static trench warfare another 4 years. This war would shape things to come throughout the 20th Century.
Makes me wonder how things might have turned out had Germany won in the first couple of months and captured Paris causing the other powers to sue for peace. Probably would not have given rise to Hitler and the Nazis. Would the US emerged as The Superpower after the Cold War? Would we looking forward to College Soccer instead of Husker Football (frightening thought)??!!
