Summary This half-hour documentary series uses film from news, official and private sources, to explore World War I. Tonight: "The Summer of Sarajevo." We see a complacent, confident Europe in 1914 shaken by the assassination of Austria's Archduke Ferdinand, an event seized by German and Austrian leaders as a motive for unleashing the war they had plotted for years. We see their reprisals against Serbia; the crowned heads of Europe mobilizing their armies; and people in Britain and France marching jauntily off to war. In Germany, there was cheering and waving as the Kaiser told his people they would "go to war with God on their side."
