In June 1914, every person in Europe was sure that bloodshed would no longer touch their lives, but then a fateful shot shattered a peace that seemed long-lasting. Franz Ferdinand, heir to Austria-Hungary, had arrived in Sarajevo on an official visit. He had been warned that the trip was dangerous. He did not heed the advice and paid for it with his life. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand and his wife by Serbian conspirators triggered a war that would be called the Great War for many years to come.
It severely damaged the rational civilization of the European Enlightenment and was an ominous foreshadowing of the Second World War. Authoritative British historian John Keegan shows a prosperous world on the eve of 1914 and deeply analyzes the causes and consequences of the Great War. It entailed racial hatred, political enmity, the destruction of European culture, the deaths of 10 million people, and marked the failure of diplomacy. "All the worst the twentieth century has seen has its roots in the chaos created by World War I" (John Keegan). The book was previously published under the title "The Great War. 1914-1918".
