July 4th 1914
with the assaination of archduke Ferdinand it looked like war between the great powers was invitable, a collection of students and other youths went to a nationalist rally against germany and Austria hungry. In order to intice people to go to the rally the organizers served free alchohal.
This turned out to be a very bad idea the already angry crowd decided that they should destroy the german and Austrian Hungarian embassies. So arming themselves with makeshift weapons and tourches the now angry and drunk mobs decided to act.
They showed up at the embassies and stormed the gates killing the guards who didn't expect trouble once inside the drunk and angry mob killed everyone inside.
There was just a slight problem they had destroyed the wrong embassies, and when them morning arrived The united kingdom and America found out that their embassies had been destroyed and their people massacered.
This event would have significant impact on the great war to follow.
But what if the Mauvis enfant riots didn't happen how would history have been changed?
