On the other hand the same episode goes on to discuss the geopolitical situation before WWI and I have the impression that somehow it would be unavoidable and that some other event would have sparked it. Seems ironic in the light of the Archduke's supposed pro-serbian/Yugoslav views that a bunch of late teens/early 20-something shits would spark a 100 years of bloodshed. The consequences of the assassination seem to be a constant state of war for the past 100 years with real world shockwaves still being felt. It seems like you could argue that World War I could have been avoided which in turn probably leaves us without WWII and the consequences of which led to the Cold War and the which probably was an important prerequisite to the now eternal war on terror. I also found it interesting how the assassination plot essentially failed and that the Archduke's car found itself stalled/stopped or whatever in front of the restaurant where the would be assassins were re-grouping. I just spent the last few days listening to it. Most Waffen SS in the West returned to live in West Germany or other western nations.Дan Carlin of Hardcore History makes exactly this point in the episode 'Blueprint for Armageddon part I'. Many were also traumatized after years of brutal warfare and losing the war, and like many vets, they felt they couldn't go back to peace. I expect many were fleeing war crimes trials, although those tapered off quickly after the war. I question whether they had nothing to go back to. Many Waffen SS vets joined the French Foreign Legion and fought in France's attempt to hold on to Vietnam. The assassination's historical importance lies in a multitude of factors, the most pertinent being the global context in which it took place, its impact on Congolese politics since then and Lumumba's overall legacy as a nationalist leader.' : 'Ludo De Witte, the Belgian author of the best book on this crime, qualifies it as 'the most important assassination of the 20th century'. The US also sponsored the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. They blew up expended bullets to create some shrapnel when the position was overrun.ДЄnother interesting military feat of the period is the Kolwezi affair, with militias holding a city in South Congo hostage and the Foreign Legion paratroopers jumping in. The whole ordeal would have long been forgotten for the fact the Irish suffered no casulaties and surrender when they ran out of bullets TWICE. The French commander offered terms to the Irish garrison several times in what was to be a useless loss of life anyway, but the Irish were cut off and chose to fight off. The Irish were there as part of the UN peace keeping force, which ended up on the path of the Katangan rebels (The Congo as a colonial construct was made up of various tribes with nothing in common and a weak central government which led some areas of the country to secede, supported by one of the two blocks of the time, through proxy states) The factions were made of ragtag вЂњrebelsвЂќ (whoever could carry a rifle) led by some european and south african mercenaries (of which the leader was French - and a former ww2 war hero himself).
