Franz Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo. The sole act that precipitated Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against Serbia. This caused countries allied with Austria-Hungary, and countries allied with Serbia, to declare war on each other, thus starting World War I. The concluding event of World War 1 was the treaty of Versailles, which was later rejected by the National Socialist Worker's Party of Germany, so World War 2 was merely the second half of World War 1, after everyone had rested and rebuilt their military might along more contemporary lines.
One aristocratic Austrian getting assassinated in his hen-feather hat was all it took to plunge the world into desperate all out war for 30 years, and you think North Korea rattling nuclear warheads is not enough to get chapter 3 started?
pfffft.
