No I did not SSgt Alex Robinson realize November 5, 1914 was the date the declaration of war against the Ottoman Empire. Was Archduke Ferdinand assassinated in on this day or the day before?
This is the anniversary of the day that the dominoes began to fall on the sides of the British and their allies as well as the Austro-hungarian empire and their allies the Germans and the Turks.

Considering what was at stake an dht pressures involved and seeing the effects of WW!. It was inevitable even without the assassination of Ferdinand.

Only a matter of time before the Old World Monarchies still in power(led by Wilhelm) , would fight the capitalists.

And WWII was the same people's fight against capitalism and "communism", again.
