Most people think World War One started because of one bullet. But the truth is much more disturbing.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was just the spark. The real fire had been building for decades. European nations were trapped in a cycle of fear, competition, and massive military growth. They built huge armies and made secret alliances that turned a small problem into a global disaster.
When the crisis hit, world leaders were more afraid of looking weak than they were of starting a war. They chose pride over talking. They promised a "short and glorious" war, but instead, they created four years of horror in the trenches. This video explains how ego, bad leadership, and simple fear led to the collapse of empires and the loss of a whole generation.
