>>811158some right wing nationalist serbian kids killed their would-be noble leader, who was loved by the people and had a sterling reputation, who was poised to lead for at least another 50 years of prosperity. they killed him because they were a bunch of anti-austrian anuu-cheeki-breeki serbian chuds who hated that their motherland was being occupied by austria-hungary.
basically, they killed charlie kirk, but ferdinand was an actual decorated military officer who was going to be their president. this caused austria-hungary to attack serbia in retaliation, then austria was like
>hey germany, you're totally cool with helping us if war breaks out, right?and germany was like
>hell yeah dawg, but let's pop off quick and be done with it, I don't want to piss off russia. you know how much they love serbiameanwhile, france went to go see russia and was like
>hon hon hon, mon amie, ve vill help in any war mon cheriand russia was like
>splendid… splendidso germany and austria-hungary were like
>her serbia, you fucking losers. you killed our would-be president. you have to pay for thatand serbia was like
>get fucking bent faggot lolso germany and austria-hungary mobilized their army, and at the same time russia did the same, and then the UK was like
>oh shit we better go help france, cuz they'll get absolutely smashed by germany's big dick if it comes to thatand basically all of europe was dropping bombs and shit.
were they all retarded? yeah, they were. a whole lot of death because muh tit-for-tat type shit.
