Essay on World War IJohn Dechert3-15-14Per.1If there is a war that is more destined to be more destined by time and history, these big masts and these sails in the sea, then I can think of there is no better example, because there is no better example, than the First World War. Indeed, from the very beginning of the war, fate seemed to extend its most virtuous and peaceful hand, taking Gavrilo Princip and placing him directly in the path of the Archduke of Austria and his wife, whom he loved so much.
