I'm not going to read all of my books, nor even just one of them, and then carefully type out exact quotes and page numbers, just to prove to YOU that calling what I previously posted, WHICH IS HISTORICALLY CORRECT, is "fantasy"! Believe me or don't; however, IF this is a topic that you are interested in, I suggest that you read the first two books, at the least, that I mentioned' especially the one that I quoted. But you'll have to do without my family's eye witness accounts...as I try very hard to not post such personal things on an open thread.
Supposedly there are now available reprints of my 1917 book; however, none of them are going to contain the handwritten notes, that my book has...so that's not going to help things any.
There's an awful lot of background info, vis-a-vis the assassination and WW I, that must be taken into consideration, when talking about this horrific war! But that's off this thread's topic and I try to not take over a thread, with off topic stuff. Perhaps, someday, there'll be a thread here, where we can get into all of that.
Sorry, but your cute idea that Austrians only wanted an apology and for lack of it WWI started is truly just fantasy, but whose exactly?
The real truth is that with prodding from the Kaiser’s High Command Austria issued a (iirc) 10 point ultimatum, which the Serbs accepted in whole except for minor modifications to one point.
That was the start of WWI, FRiend.
It’s all in the book.
