Sophie & Franz: The World War 1 Love Story
^{00:09:36 | August 10th, 2020}

We tell the tragic love story of Sophie, who married the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and whose murder helped start WW1. Like so many women she was belittled when alive and forgotten when dead. We put her back in the story.—-more—-From a modest family she was not noble enough to marry into Royalty. But Franz Ferdinand and her shared a forbidden love. Until it was discovered by chance. Scandal ensued. The Hapsburg Emperor forbade the match. But eventually relented. But at a terrible price for Sophie and Franz. Their children were disinherited. She was to be treated as the lowest person at Court. They accepted the sacrifice for love. We see how these slights led Franz and her to make a series of fateful decisions on that day in Sarajevo. The decision to travel together in the car and her refusal to leave his side are all explained by the prejudice and abuse she received in Austria. Her devotion played into the hands of Gavrilo Princeps. And they were both shot dead. The Archuke’s last words were for her. Their death led directly to the outbreak of World War One.We raise questions about the shooting in Sarajevo which led to World War 1We tell the story of the Hapsburg monarch and how it built and empire through marriage.We tell how those marriage rules meant marrying for love was almost impossibleWe tell how Sophie, from a modest background, met Archduke Ferdinand before World War 1We tell how their affair was discovered and a great scandal ensued.Eventually Sophie and Franz are allowed to marryWe show the similarities between their story and the Cinderella story.But their children are disinherited.Sophie is treated appallingly by the rich families of ViennaIn 1914 the couple visit SarajevoThey are shot dead by Gavrilo Princeps.This shooting precipitates the outbreak of World War 1But after their death the Archduke’s Will is read and he ensures that finally he and Sophie are treated equally.If you liked his episode you may also enjoy our other episode on the outbreak of World War 1https://www.historystorytime.com/e/why-did-world-war-one-start/

Why did World War 1 start?
^{00:10:00 | August 3rd, 2020}

Sophie (age 7) and Ellie (age 5) tell the story of why World War One happened – on the weekend of the anniversary of the War starting.—-more—- We start in Sarajevo with Gavrilo Princeps shooting the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. But we soon move into exploring some of the theses which historians put forward. We properly explore how the alliance system in Europe acted as a domino effect. We understand the role that the Schliefflen plan had on German thinking. Then we delve into what is known as the Fisher controversy – did the Germans deliberately start the war to help them manage their own internal problems? The whole story is told through not just words but also through song. A unique set of lyrics brings the whole story to life. It is a refrain throughout the episode and then the whole verse it sung at the end.The episode ends with a segment of the Last Post.For people who would like to sing along with the song, the lyrics are here:“Gavrilo shot an old ArchdukeI don’t know why he shot the ArchdukeAustria did attack the SerbsNot for them a war of wordsThe Kaiser attacked the Tsar as wellThe world was alight with bullet and shell The Germans did attack poor FranceSomething to do with the trains at first glanceGerman troops attacked BelgiumThey certainly were not welcomeBritain came to Belgium’s aidThey saw it as a great crusadeThe colonies helped Britain outWith all their help, we were in with a shoutAmerica she turned up lateBut when she came she was first rate And millions died” If you liked this episode you might like our episode on the Christmas Truce of 1914.https://www.historystorytime.com/e/the-christmas-truce-of-1914-1544981461/Or you might like the story of Jack Cornwell who won the VC, the highest award for gallantry, at the age of just 16 at the Battle of Jutland.https://www.historystorytime.com/e/jack-cornwell-vc-and-the-battle-of-jutland/
