FRANZ FERDINAND: THE WRONG TURN THAT STARTED WORLD WAR I

FRANZ FERDINAND: THE WRONG TURN THAT STARTED WORLD WAR I Episode 16 | History's Mysteries — Unsolved Events In this Mystery episode we focus on the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand — the most consequential act of individual violence in modern history, and told as a true crime story, one of the strangest. This episode reconstructs the full morning: six assassins positioned along the route, the first attempt that failed, the decision to change the route to visit the wounded, the driver who wasn't told, the wrong turn down Franz Josef Street, the stop directly in front of the deli where Gavrilo Princip was eating, and the two shots that followed — then the five weeks to world war, and the question of whether the war was inevitable or the product of specific choices that could have gone differently. The wrong turn that killed twenty million people. #HistoryMystery #FranzFerdinand #WWI #Assassination #MysteryPodcast
