   Studied WW1 in school but never went hard on the July Crisis that started it.

     Serbia was like, “look, Austria. We’ll give you literally everything you’re asking for.” Britain was like, “let’s talk this out guys”. Austria was like, “hmm, maybe”. Germany was like “LEROY JENKINS! Btw, invading Luxembourg. Lol!”
