History MemesDidn't he get lost and cause this, tbf?
Lmao the windshield being behind the driver.
Explanation: Archduke Franz Ferdinand was a member of Austro-Hungarian royalty whose assassination by Serbian nationalists kicked off WW1.
He actually survived the first assassination attempt that day, an attack by a bomb! It was a failure, and the Serbian assassins scattered, some being arrested in the process. The Archduke opted, in fact, to visit the local hospital to pay his respects to the innocent people who had been injured by the bomb.
... but his driver (who was actually quite skilled and level-headed, and got his job for just that reason) got stuck in the confusion and mixed orders and traffic on the way there, and happened to pass by the cafe where one of the (uncaught) assassins, Gavrilo Princip, had decided to stop for a post-failure sandwich. Princip took the opportunity to change the failed assassination attempt into a successful one, and shot the Archduke, beginning a crisis which would result in the First World War.
I say don't you know?
You say you don't know
I say take me out
I say you don't show
Don't move, time is slow
I say take me out
Nicely summed up in The King's Man
I worry it was too close to the truth that people will take it as the truth of many events that occur in the movie.
I recently learned of an interesting coincidence about this - his death is cited as the catalyst for WW1, and the license plate of the car he was in was "AIII 118", which if you take each l as a 1 and look at it as a date, could be interpreted as 11/11/18, aka Armistice Day
