Theresienstadt: What did it do to the Jewish Children? As of October 1941, the concentration camp Terezin became a Jewish ghetto, but life never got any easier for the Jews. In fact, more sprung up.

The archduke traveled to Sarajevo in June 1914 to inspect the armed forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, former Ottoman territories in the turbulent Balkan region that were…

Ferdinand, heir of the Austria-Hungarian throne, and his wife--Sofia, were assassinated June 28th, 1914. They were murdered in Sarajevo by the Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip. Some are to say that this could be the start of tension between Austria-Hungary, but to the Serbians, this was a sign of Heroism.

The country of Serbia greatly affected the beginning of the First World War in many ways. Some claim that Serbia held the greatest amount of responsibility for the start of World War I. One of the major things that Serbia did to get people angry is that they were trying to expand their territory and they supported the Black Hand terrorist which was not a good combination. The Black Hand terrorist were a secret Serbian society who were planning the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.…

Once upon a time serbian was a tiny piece of the ottoman empire, but then Serbia gained independence from the ottoman Empire in 1815 and then its biggest fear was annexation by the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.
