    From what I read in some history books, the assassination of Franz Ferdinand was just one of many pieces that led to WWI.

      I was taught that the consensus amongst historians is that it would have happened regardless

      As if there are no other pieces at the present time

        Yeah, but that meme implies causation, and I can’t agree with that.

          It was an action which was taken as a reason to start a war, so yes, there was causation

            One would have to learn history from memes to reach that conclusion.
