World War I

Did you know that World War I was started because of a sandwich break? Yes, the start of the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand but the assassination was not a simple move by the assassins. The assassins’ original attempt to kill Ferdinand had failed miserably and they had lost their chance when the bomb they had targeted for Ferdinand actually hit the car behind him and he ran away safely from the scene. The disappointed assassins’ stopped at a cafe for a sandwich and Ferdinand’s driver happened to take a wrong turn and drove the car past the same cafe. One assassin saw him and shot the archduke and his wife. That is what triggered the World War I.
