One Wrong Turn That Started World War I

One Wrong Turn That Started World War I

World War I did not begin with a massive battle or a grand military plan. It began with a single mistake. In 1914, Europe was already standing on the edge of collapse. Empires were armed, alliances were ready, and tension filled the continent. Then, one wrong turn changed everything. This video reveals how a simple navigation error placed Archduke Franz Ferdinand directly in front of his assassin — and triggered the chain reaction that led to World War I. History doesn’t always change with loud explosions. Sometimes, it changes quietly… with one wrong decision.
