My history teacher: Have y'all ever heard of the phrase easier than shooting a fish in a barrel? Well this is kind of like that, except it’s shooting Archduke Franz Ferdinand, in a car, in an alleyway.
Classmate: And there’s no reverse.

STUPID HISTORY
On June 28th, 1914, the archduke of Austria "franz ferdinand" was attacked twice by the same man. The first attack was a homemade bomb made by Gavrilo Princip, Gavrilio hated franz ferdinand. He threw the bomb under his car but missed. Gavrilio ran away to a café nearby. A few minutes later, the driver of ferdinand's car took a wrong turn going down the street where Gavrilo Princip was eating a cheese sandwich. Once, gavrilio realized he decided to shoot Franz ferdinand with an FN 1910 semi-auto handgun. The death of franz sent Austria into war with others starting WW1. this brings us to a failed art student from Austria named adolf hitler. Hitler was an Austrian infantry. He was in battle when he met fave to face with an American. The American made a horrible mistake of letting him live. Years later and Hitler became the ruler of Germany. Once he became ruler, he created the nazis. Starting WW2, once WW2 was almost over, a gay American man named "Alan turing" created the first modern computer. Years later, the technology became public, and companies started to make home desktops. This lead people to discover communities such as weebs and furries. The growth of furrys led to a website named E621.NET, creating the first worldwide furry porn hosting website

Downton Abbey being historically inaccurate:
But I guess "Young Bosnia? Oh, I don't like the sound of that" wouldn't have worked as a line...
(To be fair, it's possible that some UK newspaper mixed the organizations up and reported it wrong, or Thomas misread th article)

“I know that the Habsburgs had the strictest protocols among European monarchies and they were different times. But it saddens me that even after death Duchess Sophie of Hohenberg was treated with inferiority. Her coffin was placed lower in relation to her husband (Archduke Franz Ferdinand) and with less adornment, all this to show her "inferiority" to the archduke. She was also forbidden to be buried in the Habsburg imperial crypt.” - Submitted by Anonymous
