1st August 1914
Russia mobilizes along the German and Austria-Hungary borders. As a consequence, Germany has stated that this threatening step has left them in grave and imminent danger for which they need to react. Germany has declared war on Russia...
Today, one hundred years ago, marks the day with which Germany declared war on Russia. If only the soldiers of all nations preparing to fight knew, that one hundred years later not only would we be remembering those who fought in the war to end wars but that there would be troubles brewing again in Eastern Europe.
The only difference? Hopefully we will have all learnt from previous conflicts that violence and mass military parades along borders does nothing but escalate troubles.
