OT Didn't WWI start in Yugoslavia? That might have been the spark that set it off but the tensions where rising and the alliances where set. The assassination might have pulled the trigger but it didn't load or aim the gun. In any case Yugoslavia has very little chance of trigering a world war now. In fact that extremly small chance is probably increased (by an fairly insignifigant amount) by getting involved in the region. Tim

Didn't WWI start in Yugoslavia? Scumbria, It was started by the act of a Serb (from Yugoslavia) who assasinated the Duke...a Hapsburg...of the Austrian-Hungarian empire. I think it took place in Vienna. But I don't think Austria attacked Yugoslavia in retaliation. And I am not sure if he wounded or killed the Duke who was an idiot, I believe. But it may have been the shot heard around the world...or maybe not. I hope this info helps facilite Tim's and your discussion. If not, deal with it!! <g> ted
