Have you ever wondered about how world war I started?
The thrilling non fiction story success “Assassination in Sarajevo, Point of impact” was written and executed by the Heinemann Library in Chicago, Illinois. This wonder of literature goes in depth through how the World War I was started in incredible detail. Once the book kicks off, it starts explaining the two fatal shots in Sarajevo, Bosnia which were the main reason why World War I had commenced. It explains how this one little mistake involves the United.States which will activate the onslaught. Now that the reader knows what happened to cause the war the book starts explaining nationalism, and how the war will help some nations gain their independence through this war. The authors explain how even after the Berlin peace treaty, that by the 1900’s Turks had been largely driven out of the Balkans. Then the authors explain how this affects the causes stalking more reason why Turks should go to war. The book then explain situations in different nations around the world like Serbia when they start gaining territory near Bosnia and then when they were firmly stopped. Towards the end of the book, the Heinemann Library review how the two fatal shots which caused the World War I in much more detail explaining the ultimatum which were terrorists in Bosnia. Finally at the end of the book, the reader earns about how it went from Sarajevo to the world. Hence, this paperback of wonder was very informative and helpful.
There are several main causes to World War I but the main cause would be the assassination of the Archduke Franz in Bosnia. This was indeed not the only because but it was the main one which involved all countries. Because of this assassination many negative effects came out of it. First of all, the Austrian-Hungarian blamed Serbia for assassination and declared war. When Serbia was attacked the Russians were involved and so on. The allies kept joining the two small countries until the widespread commenced. The beliefs of the government of Austria-Hungary’s belief of blaming Serbia on the assassination changed the world. First it made a war between them. Then when people started allying with the countries, things started to go crazy. The blame had started the world war, if the government hadn’t been so idiotic to blame a whole other country the World War I would have never happened. Finally, the similarities of Bosnia and Morocco today are very low. The only factor the two countries have together is the fact that they have allies to help them fight wether they are a small country or not. The era of this time doesn’t compare well to Morocco now because if they had technology and better scientists then they would be able to solve the case and find the assassin without starting the huge commotion which eventually led to World War I. Therefore, there are small or very none similarities with Morocco, but many of differences.
I would recommend this book to patient readers and sixth graders because some of the information in the book is repeated many times and it starts boring the reader. This book has no high level except maybe the fact boxes are hard to understand. Furthermore, the level of this book does’t determine wether you can read or not , it is the fact that the amount of information you can take in at a time. The book is full of information which is a plus because you learn more but the downside is that you may not understand clearly because of the overflowing information. The book is not long so this is why I would recommend it to sixth graders. Younger readers won’t be patient enough to read the whole book and to read carefully as sixth graders and up will be able to understand clearly the book and be patient enough to hear some repeated information along the way. In conclusion, this is why I think this would be a good read for patient sixth graders and up.
