24 July 1914



100 years ago today: Austria-Hungary has presented Servia with a note and demanded a response by 7pm on Saturday 25 July.  The demands are for Servia to issue a declaration “in which she repudiates the machinations against Austria-Hungary and regrets the horrible results”, suppress publications which incite hatred and contempt against the monarchy and ensure that those involved in the assassination are brought to justice.  The conference at Buckingham Palace continues but there is little hope of a settlement being reached and it is likely that the Prime Minister will announce that the parties have failed to reach an agreement.
