Summary During the early 20the century belle Epoque, after a century of relatively peaceful social progress, nobody in Europe, with its intensely intermarried dynasties, imagined the continent was heading for an arguably unprecedented inferno, although the constellation of defensive alliances was a recipe for the Great War. The Sarejevo murder by a Serbian nationalist of the Austrian heir to the imperial throne sparkled a series war declarations opposing the German-Hansburg axis to an Anglo-Franco-Russian-based coalition. The quick victory everybody expected within months eluded the Germans, who got bogged down in northern France after diverting two armies to the eastern front too soon sabotaged their sole change to hit on Paris, so the Marne defeat led to trenches along an endless front, where industrialized warfare of unseen apocalyptic horror and diabolizing the opponent institutionalized the continent's suicide.
