Timeline of World War One and Leonard H. Maunder

Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand

Jun 28, 1914

On June 28th, Serbian nationalists assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife while he was going through Bosnia and Herzegovina. The nationalists were mad because they believed that those territories were the property of Serbia (and not Austria-Hungary). Austria-Hungary immediately concluded that Serbia was behind this, and a month later, they made harsh demands from Serbia, with the intent to start a war. Historians often agree that this is the main event that started World War One.

Nov 11, 1918

When the Armistice finally came, fighting stopped slowly. When it fully came to a halt, there were celebrations in Leonard's town. French locals had prepared champagne and wine for those who helped the war cause, and everyone drank until they couldn't. Eventually, celebrations died down, and the new focus was getting Americans back into America.
