  • Summary

  • Last episode, after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian empire, all of Europe began to mobilize their armies, and move them to the borders of the countries around them.


    If you are the leader of a country, and your neighbor begins to mobilize an army right at your borders, what do you do? Well, of course you let them in and put them up in nice hotels in your big cities, and give them all free benefits and eventually the right to vote, right? Yes, of course you do. No, when your neighbor sends an army to your borders, you put your army at the border as well, to protect your citizens and your country. And that’s what was happening all over Europe. And when two armies, who are trained to fight, are facing off against each other, it’s pretty likely that they are going to fight. That’s what they are there for.
