[QUOTE=jaystuw;3204526]It's called history. Even the history channel get this one right. You should watch it sometime.
Do a little research on the who and why Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. It was by Bosnian Serb terrorist Gavrilo Princip who was one of group of eight that wanted to establisha Muslim state. According to most, this action was the flame that finally set off the tinder box that was Europe. In its smoke came World War I.

Fighting Islam's Fierce Moro Warriors - America s first warwith suicidal Islamic warriors
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/654540/posts
America’s first jungle war remains largely unknown, except in the Philippines where it began in 1900. Even those rare Americans who have heard of the U.S. jungle war against the Moros often connect it erroneously with the Philippine Insurrection. But with world attention now riveted uponI slamic jihad, we can expect to learn more about the volatile Islamic Moros,especially since they openly supported Afghanistan’s Taliban government and arean ongoing problem for the Philippine government.
Mutual revulsion between the Islamic Moros of the southernPhilippines and the Western world goes back a long way. For more than twocenturies before their defeat by U.S. forces at the end of the 1800s, Spainattempted unsuccessfully to subjugate the diminutive but fanatical MuslimMoros, who average slightly over 5 feet in height. Spanish soldiers had beencaptured by the Moros, dragged into the jungle and tortured for hours on end,finally dying in utter agony over a slow fire after being emasculated. Add tothat the Moro practices of polygamy, slavery and rape of infidels, and it iseasy to see why the American forces in 1898 saw Moros as horror and depravityincarnate.
Called Moros by the Spanish because they reminded Europeansof Muslim, Moroccan Moors, the Moro tribes occupied—and still occupy—Mindanao,the second largest Philippine island, which is about the size of Indiana. Anirregularly shaped, bay-indented splotch of land, Mindanao is a tropical mix ofjungle, small mountains and valleys, with Lake Lanao located in the northcentral area.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

Miltec. You are overreaching. Moro's ? We fought them in minor engagements on the other side of the world in our Quest for colonies. Hardly an attack on America. These people fought from the front door of their huts! Civilize them with a krag, remember?
America fought pirates on the Barbary coast, also a world away, because they were pirates! simple, they steal from anyone and everyone so we fight back. easy!
And finally, WW1. You actually think the great war was over a few inept but lucky assassins in a backward part of one empire? That defies belief. The great war was primed and ready to go long before the assassination of the Grand Duke. Anyone of a number of things could or would of set off the powder keg that was 1914 Europe. Blaming the war on Muslims is fantasy! They were totally minor players on the world stage at the time. Try poor and inept leadership on the part of the rulers of the great powers if you are looking for a cause to the loss of a generation of European youth. Jay
