Harlan Ullman, "A Handful of Bullets: How the Murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand Still Menaces," Eight Bells Book Lecture, Naval War College Museum, June 4, 2015.

The “War to end all Wars” was precipitated by the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in the streets of Sarajevo on June 28th, 1914, and demolished the order established by the Concert of Vienna. The ensuing war laid the foundations for a second world war and the cold war that followed.
