[REGNUM] Exactly 110 years ago the “long nineteenth century” ended. According to British historian Eric Hobsbawm, it lasted from the French Revolution until the outbreak of the First World War. The formal reason for the latter was the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the Bosnian city of Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. The course of events of that fateful day in Sarajevo is known minute by minute; journalists from the British media corporation BBC even reported on them ten years ago, using 21st century journalistic techniques, in the style of “live reporting”. IA Regnum will take the liberty of not only reconstructing the events that led to one of the two largest catastrophes of the 20th century, but also pointing out the forces that stood behind these events.
