    You know, this would be a great sticky thread, if people were willing to contribute to it every now and then. It would be a great way to track WWI anniversary events and timelines in "real time".

    Just a thought. *shrug*

    Thanks Rob, for remind me of this remarkable (did i wrote right?) date. My head was so full of things that i didn't remembered.
    Lots of people died from this date, but we can always look on the bright side: if World War I didn't happened (wrote right again?), we would't be enjoying this great game and reading this wonderful forum.
    Thanks

    Wednesday
    • At 1:00 am the Kaiser and Czar Nicholas II begin the famous Willy-Nilly correspondence via telegram. [view text of the telegrams]
    • The Czar orders mobilization of four military districts: Moscow, Kiev, Odessa, and Kazan.
    • Germany demands that Russia demobilize at once.
    • The Kaiser wires Saint Petersburg pleading for restraint since he is currently urging Austria to back off.
    • The Czar calls off mobilization, for the moment. The Russians decide on only partial mobilization and only against Austria, not Germany.
    • Austrian Ambassador, Count Szapary, urges Russian Foreign Minister Sazonov to call off Russian mobilization. During the meeting Sazonov is informed that Austrian monitors are shelling Belgrade from the Danube. The meeting ends in a shouting match and Szapary walks out.
    • In London, Grey warns German Ambassador Lichownowsky that British neutrality cannot be counted on.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    Right on Max.
    That was really what I was hoping for.
    We have something similar going on on Sails of Glory.
