The Shot Heard Around the World — Part II Chapters 4–6: “The Plotters,” “The Shot Heard Around the World,” “The War to End All Wars” A wrong turn.A teenage assassin.And a single moment that tore the modern world apart. In Part II of The Shot Heard Around the World, Branden Morgan takes us inside the conspiracy that killed the Archduke — and the avalanche that followed.From Gavrilo Princip’s desperate act of violence to the impossible tangle of alliances that turned one assassination into World War I, this is the anatomy of catastrophe. We follow the chaos in Sarajevo, the political fury in Vienna, and the slow, almost hypnotic collapse of reason across a continent drunk on power. By the end, the old empires are gone, millions are dead, and the myth of progress lies buried in the mud of the Western Front. Part II concludes with the war’s haunting legacy — how its “peace” became prelude, and how Europe, scarred and starving, unknowingly prepared itself for something even worse. 🎧 Featuring: Inside The Black Hand and the six men who changed history The “blank check” that sealed Europe’s fate The rise of trench warfare and the fall of civilization 📣 Follow & Support: Instagram: @idesofaprilpod For press & inquiries: info@eviocreative.com Rate, review, and follow The Ides of April wherever you get your podcasts. 💼 Sponsors:Take the online quiz and introduce Ollie to your pet at ollie.com/ides for 60% off your first box of meals.And use code IDES at monarchmoney.com for 50% off your first year. 🔥 The Ides of April — because one gunshot doesn’t just end an empire.
