Week of 20-25 July 1914



100 years ago this week: the Ulster crisis continues to dominate the news with the King stepping in to invite the representatives from all parties to a conference at Buckingham Palace in the hope of reaching an agreement.  Unfortunately with both sides remaining unyielding, this was unsuccessful and the second reading of the Amending Bill is planned for Tuesday.  Austria-Hungary has presented a note detailing its demands to Servia  and given a deadline for Servia to issue a declaration by 7pm on Saturday 25 July.  There is increasing concern that Servia will not comply and war may now be inevitable.
