More from TodayIFoundOut: The Ridiculous Way British Sailors Were Ordered to Stop German U-boats During WWI https://youtu.be/rUdzCHWvti8 In this video: The commonly held notion that WW1 was started out of outrage over the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie at the hands of the Serbian nationalist secret society known as the “Black Hand” isn’t entirely correct. In fact, the Emperor Franz Josef himself expressed relief over the assassination because it rid him of an heir that he deeply disliked. The Emperor commented that “God will not be mocked. A higher power had put back the order I couldn’t maintain.” Want the text version?: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2015/11/order-white-feather/ Sources: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/12/what-started-world-war-i/ http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/world-history/history-of-the-first-world-war-in-100-moments/a-history-of-the-first-world-war-in-100-moments-white-feather-for-winner-of-victoria-cross-9352952.html https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-xTk7ONwPUAC&pg=PA239&dq=white+feather+of+cowardice&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDQQ6AEwA2oVChMIkei3pKXoyAIVhGkUCh2_xA4t#v=onepage&q=white%20feather%20of%20cowardice&f=false https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vWJtBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA20&dq=white+feather+of+cowardice&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAWoVChMIkei3pKXoyAIVhGkUCh2_xA4t#v=onepage&q=white%20feather%20of%20cowardice&f=false http://itech.fgcu.edu/&/issues/vol1/issue1/feather.htm http://whitefeatherdiaries.org.uk/about-site http://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/nov/11/first-world-war-white-feather-cowardice http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8774295/White-Feather-women-didnt-impress-those-at-the-Front.html htt
