Those expecting, that 1914: The Last Days Before The War, will give them any definite information as to the real causes of the World War are doomed to disappointment.  This is not due to any lack of detail concerning the diplomatic moves in the various European capitals that followed the fatal shot at Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, and continued until the declaration of war on Russia by Germany on Aug. 1. There is a tendency to paint Count Berchtold, the Austro-Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and S. D. Sazanov, the Russian Foreign Minister, perhaps blacker than they really were and to represent Emperor Franz Josef, Kaiser Wilhelm and Czar Nicholas as would-be fathers of their peoples and sincere lovers of peace.  

Gestützt auf historische Dokumente, schildert der Film in Form einer Reportage die Ereignisse an den europäischen Höfen – mit Hauptgewicht auf dem Zarenhof – zwischen dem Attentat von Sarajewo, bei dem am 28. Juni 1914 der österreichische Thronfolger Erzherzog Franz-Ferdinand und seine Gattin Sophie ums Leben kamen, und dem Kriegsausbruch Anfang August.

DVD-R is in German with or without switchable English subtitles.  Approx. 95 mins.  See film samples for sound and video quality!
