ARGO: June 28 in Sarajevo
We'll start with the facts: World War One happened because of events of July and early August 1914 are a classic case of "one thing led to another" - otherwise known as the treaty alliance system.
The explosive that was World War One had been long in the stockpiling; the spark was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914.
Ferdinand's death at the hands of the Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist secret society, set in train a mindlessly mechanical series of events that culminated in the world's first global war.
Now, taking the above historical events let's put the twist on it....What if the assination attempts all failed? Do you think World War 1 was still imminant? And if so, would the sides all be different?
