You all know what a trivia game is, but this one will have trivia questions ONLY about history and geograhpy . First person to reach 5 points wins a game (you get nothing from it except personally prestige). The questions will get harder and harder at first starting easy.

I love the history of Franz Ferdinands death (not the band they're still ok). Are you all comfortable then I'l begin:

Once upon a time in June 1914 Franz Ferdinand was driving in an open top car (sheesh you would have thought these political figures would learn). Nedeljko Cabrinovic lobbed a grenade that missed Franz and killed the people in the car behind (then Cabrinovic jumped in a 3 foot deep river to drown himself) five of the seven members of the "black Hand" gang (oooohhh cool name dudes >_&gt did nothing. By sheer luck (the driver took a wrong turning) Franzs car went past Gavrilo Princip who was enjoying a sandwich in a cafe..... and then shot Franz and his wife (I like to imagine he finished off the sandwich afterwards).

And that is pretty much all I remember after 2 months preparing a very laborious presenation that I didn't even get too show to the class >.<

You didn't steal the point because I didn't give the option to... How fun would it be if every question someone could steal a point because you don't know the precise day something happened, when they were able to get the month and year?

Correct.

Uhh, can I join this, because I happened to stumble into this thread and it looks pretty interesting.

And if I can, the three first countries were Germany (duh), Italy and Hungary I think. But I really have no idea what the nickname was.

@KnockoutSloth
I'm not sure if I should take away a point or not. I said WWI not WWII. I think I'll just ignore it since this is your first post on this topic.

No one can steal Jessikar's point now the time to steal it is up. The nickname was something like 'The Steel Bond' or 'The Steel Pact'/

I'll give everyone til 9:30pm March 18 Eastern Time to answer this question
