- Well, I'll call it a typo and assume ... no I won't - this whole article is
- just too ignorant to exhibit any tolerance. Let's point out some errors in
- just this portion of the diatribe:
-
- 1. Assuming you meant WWII - it started in 1939. If you meant WWI - it started
- in 1914.
- 2. Yugoslavia was not created until 1918 - the assassination occurred in Bosnia
- 3. The assassinated person was the Archduke of the Austro-Hungarian Empire - not
- some Yugo leader.
