I knew about the Scots but had forgotten about Archduke Ferdinand.

When talking to a self-assured high-school-aged cousin, I asked her about the events leading up to WWI. She proceeded to tell me about Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch. While I was impressed that she knew about that, I told her that was WWII, not WWI. She proceeded to upbraid me for not knowing history and that her teacher said that Hitler was also a major player in WWI.

I told her that while Hitler was a soldier in WWI, he was neither a major player nor even remotely involved in the ramp up to WWI. I mentioned Franz Ferdinand and the Black Hand and that the Black Hand was an Islamic group similar to today’s Palestinian terrorist organizations, and she literally put her fingers in her ears and walked away.

Our schools are destroying children and history very quickly.

I did not know that the Black Hand was run by Muzzies! But the date of their formation makes more sense now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hand_%28Serbia%29
‘The Black Hand was formed when ten men met on 9 May 1911 to form Ujedinjenje ili Smrt (Unification or Death), better known as the Black Hand.’

Muzzies love the number 19. Remember the WTC/Pentagon attack on 9/11/01?

The Pali Black Hand started in 1930.

And what symbol does the Muslim Brotherhood use? The black hand. The MB started in Egypt in 1928.

I can’t seem to find any info that they were a Muzzie organization, but I did find this.

The three Black Hand trainees secretly made their way back to Sarajevo roughly a month before Franz Ferdinand. A fourth man, Danilo Ilic, had joined the group and on his own initiative, recruited three others. Vaso Cubrilovic and Cvijetko Popovic were 17 year old high school students. Muhamed Mehmedbasic, a Bosnian muslim, was added to give the group a less pan-Serb appearance.

Yes, they are, most young people now know almost nothing about history and what they THINK they do know is very likely to be wrong if not totally the reverse of reality. Even here in what some call the most conservative state in the union we have a local university that turns out graduates with a degree in history who could no more pass my EIGHTH GRADE history final than I can flap my arms and fly. There are very few things now that are as overpriced relative to their actual valueas a liberal arts degree. I doubt there is a single person graduating this year at that university who could pass my high school final in all subjects. A huge percentage could not pass the test to ENTER high school in that era.
