The Sandwich That Killed an Archduke
from The Rest of History · host Podcaster
What if I told you that World War I—all four years, 20 million dead—might never have happened if a teenage assassin hadn't gotten hungry? The story you know about Franz Ferdinand's assassination is missing the most important character: a Serbian student standing outside Moritz Schiller's delicatessen, wondering whether to order pastrami or just go home.
