In September of 1914, our world was forever changed, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand proving enough to spark conflict on a global scale unprecedented. What’s more, the stage was set for political and cultural upheavals that would continue for decades. Nations would ride to the sides of their allies and split the world in two en route, no side coming out unscathed.
