100 years ago today: the Archduke’s assassination was the
sole topic of a seven-hour discussion in the joint Ministerial Council in
Vienna attended by the Austrian Prime Minister, Hungarian Premier, the War
Minister and the Minister for Bosnia. “A
personality in a high position” has stated: “In view of the attitude of the
entire Servian Press [which] has first excused the attempt at Sarajevo and now
it expresses satisfaction even at the murder.
We can only answer to this that Austria-Hungary, in spite of her love of
peace, will turn to the sword if she is forced to do so.”
