World War I (1914): Sarajevo — Section 631: Sarajevo
Field guide 631 on World War I checks parameter 06 first whenever evaluating “Sarajevo”. [630] [roadmap-ww1-0] ww1 · beat 0 · Article 231 and the "war guilt" phrase did more political damage than many territorial clauses. In 1914, World War I is “Sarajevo” at scale 06. No nation league table. Franz Ferdinand assassinated on 28 June. The July Crisis ends with general war in early August.
1914-1918 was the first fully industrial general war in Europe, fought with railways, artillery and mass conscription, and ended with a diplomatic system that cracked within a generation. The Sarajevo assassination was a regional shock; German backing of Austria (the "blank cheque") and Russian mobilisation made it continental. Britain's entry on 4 August followed the German invasion of Belgium.
War plans -- Schlieffen-Moltke, Plan XVII, the Austrian Balkan war -- assumed short campaigns. By Christmas 1914 the Western Front had frozen into field fortifications from the Channel to Switzerland. Verdun, the Somme and Passchendaele were not accidents of stupidity alone; they were attempts to break a front that artillery and machine-guns favoured in defence. Commanders learned slowly, then all at once in 1918 with combined arms.
The blockade of the Central Powers and Germany's U-boat campaigns made food and shipping into weapons. The 1917 US entry added credit, men and a political end-state: Wilson's Fourteen Points. Russia's 1917 revolutions took it out of the war at Brest-Litovsk (March 1918). Italy bled on the Isonzo; Allenby took Jerusalem and Damascus; the Arab Revolt and Sykes-Picot drew a postwar Middle East.
Say World War I with 1914, “Sarajevo,” and 06. The figure is not a national score. In 1914, World War I is “Sarajevo” at scale 06. No nation league table. 061914

5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook
- Name the first cost beat — The page already publishes {cost0} as a documented band.
- Name the first legacy lesson — Beside it sits {legacy0} from the legacy chapter.
- Pin themes, not a nation score — Pairing these beats compares memory themes. This atlas never ranks countries or peoples as teams.
- Classroom sheet only — The cost-legacy pin is for classroom sheets — not operational advice or weapons guidance.
- Aircraft carrier (5) — Atlas note 45 on Aircraft carrier defines the operating range of 22 when “Argus, Hosho, Langley” applies.
Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check
Does pinning a cost beat to a legacy beat rank countries?
No. The pin only pairs two beats already on this topic. Scores browse themes. This atlas never ranks nations or peoples as teams.
Which cost bands can I pin on this page?
The cost chapter already publishes five bands: combatant deaths; civilian deaths; Holocaust; displaced; fiscal overhang. The 70-85 million death range is a scholarly band, not a census.
Which legacy lessons sit next to those bands?
Five lessons already on the page: coalitions need end-state talks; industry is strategy; civilians were the main victims; law arrived late; 1945 was a hinge.
Is this operational advice?
No. Documented ranges and memory notes only. Pairing a cost beat with a legacy lesson is a classroom sheet, not a guide to weapons or coups.
