The start of modern European History





When people look back over the past 150 years or so into the start of the modern European History era, few events have such a profound effect than the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by the freedom fighter Gavrilo Princip. His actions lead to the July Ultimatium which leads to the European powers into WWI. WWI in turn spurs the roaring 20's, the depression and finally WW2 and the Cold War. To stand at that exact spot, see the weapons and to see the original photos is really an amazing sight. I think a lot of people would miss the historical importance but not Megan and I.
