The day (in Kinopice castle) I discovered the cause of WWI. Yes, I learned at school that was the shooting of Ferdinand D'este In Sarajevo. But I only discover the real cause while visiting the hunting castle of Ferdinand D'este.

They told me it was the first castle with electric light. Then they showed the first lift -he had tuberculosis and was frail. I looked to the castle and the modern amenities provided by electricity and I said:

The Austro-Hungarian empire was an anachronism. Anachronisms that are not flushed down history's toilettes cause wars. Simple, they didn't want to give in peacefully, then it was just a matter of time for ANYTHING to start the war.

Anachronism caused WWI. Look around, see that conflict in Afheganistan, India or Pakistan? That's anachronism causing conflicts.
