August 1914. Europe marched to war. Heavy boots resounded in unison over the pavement, while proud banners flew overhead the soldiers. Their leaders had promised them a short war. In a few weeks, maybe a couple of months, each man would return home as a hero. Cavalrymen in embroidered coats, white gloves, and plummeted caps rode ahead, surging towards the front in search of promised glory. But the perceived enthusiasm, eagerly exploited by the propaganda, was not widely shared. Instead, it was the gloomy atmosphere, full of fear and doubt.

I've thought so many times, that The March to War should have been played on my wedding day. Would have been so cool to walk to the altar with it playing in the back.

When Indy mentioned the airplane i remembered a story about one of the so called inventors of airplane. Santos Dumont killed himself after learning that his invention was being used for military use after the 1932 Constitionalist Revolution. In 1925 he asked for the League of Nations to, i think, ban such usage but with no succes.

The killing of the arch-duke was the match that lit the powder keg. If it hadn't been him it would have been something else. The only one who really cared (besides Ferdinand's family) was The Kaiser, otherwise, it was back page news for the rest of the world (I've seen newspapers from that era).

Like take the song Shotgun and use it as a means for how Europe reacted to America entering WW1, touching on how the German Empire used poison gas, flamethrowers, and serrated bayonets thought an simple American farmer's weapon was "too cruel" a death for a soldier.
