100 years ago today: the Telegraph reports on breaking the
news of the Archduke’s and his wife’s deaths to their children. In Bosnia, excitement “against their Servian
co-citizens is growing in a dangerous manner” and “Sarajevo looks like the
scene of a pogrom”. However, we are reassured
that:
“The position taken up by the Austrian press with regards to
the revelations from Sarajevo… is quiet and measured. It is almost without exception that those
opinions are discredited that consider that the murder of the Archduke might be
the excuse for new serious political complications, or even for war with Servia.”
