| World War
1st |
June 28th 1914: a Serbian terrorist killed in Sarajevo
the Austrian-Hungarian heir Franz Ferdinand
and his wife. The attempts of mediation between the two
parts failed: exactly a month later (July 28th) Austria
declared war on Serbia. It started that way a tragic war period that
lasted 5 years, involved all the countries worldwide, divided
between central empires and alliance powers, and indirectly caused a new drama 20 years later.

and trench warfare

"motion warfare" imposed above all by the
German offensive strategy but soon appeared a tiring "trench warfare". Italy
entered the war May 24th 1915.
