WW1, WW2, the rise of the Soviet Union, the rise of the Nazi's, fascism, the cold war, 9/11, and our current reactionary movement can all be historically traced back to the time some chauffeur took a turn down the wrong street and passed the cafe where Archduke Ferdinand's assassin was eating a sandwich

The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark is a very good book on how batshit insane literally every player was during and prior to the July Crisis, and its an incredibly fun read if you want to learn about how dysfunctional every state in europe was at the time.

quote:

Since there was no official language in Cisleithania (by contrast with the Kingdom of Hungary),
there was no single official language of parliamentary procedure. German, Czech, Polish, Ruthenian,
Croat, Serbian, Slovenian, Italian, Romanian and Russian were all permitted. But no interpreters
were provided, and there was no facility for recording or monitoring the content of speeches that
were not in German, unless the deputy in question himself chose to supply the house with a translated
text of his speech. Deputies from even the most insignificant factions could thus block unwelcome
initiatives by delivering long speeches in a language that only a handful of their colleagues
understood. Whether they were actually addressing the issues raised by the current motion, or simply
reciting long poems in their own national idiom, was difficult to ascertain. The Czechs in particular
were renowned for the baroque extravagance of their filibustering. The Cisleithanian parliament
became a celebrated tourist attraction, especially in winter, when Viennese pleasure-seekers
crowded into the heated visitors’ galleries. By contrast with the city’s theatres and opera houses, a
Berlin journalist wrily observed, entry to parliamentary sessions was free.*

* Among those who came to watch the antics of the deputies was the young drifter Adolf Hitler.
Between February 1908 and the summer of 1909, when Czech obstructionism was at its height, he
was often to be found in the visitors’ gallery. He would later claim that the experience had ‘cured’
him of his youthful admiration for the parliamentary system

From the same book posted:

“Tempers were raised further by news of Serbian mistreatment of Bulgars in the ‘liberated lands’. It didn’t help that the heir to the throne, Prince Alexandar, had walked about various Macedonian towns during a tour of the conquered areas engaging local Bulgars in the following formulaic dialogue:

‘What are you?’
‘Bulgarian.’
‘You are not Bulgarian. gently caress your father.”

I mean she paid some lawyer god knows how much to go through all her emails one by one and classify them as relevant to SoS record keeping requirements or not, and send copies of the relevant ones to the State Department archivist or whatever.

If you wanted to keep stuff siloed from public records laws mixing work and personal email is the exact opposite of a good strategy and all her lackies were on the State Department system anyway. It was just total boomer brain "I have my blackberry setup the way I like it and it won't work with the state department, just email me at my normal address ugh."

it was Harry Truman eating a sandwich when he was informed of FDR's death and that he would be president

Conan O'Brien also eating specifically a 'big' sandwich when informed he would be taking over for Letterman

Sandwiches are mere bystanders to history rather than the engines, but no less significant.
