A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

Dying After Anti-War Riots.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 25, 1912:
Fourteen Are Mortally Wounded in Budapest Encounters.
BERLIN, Monday, Nov. 25.— According to messages to the Berlin morning papers from Budapest, serious disturbances occurred there yesterday on the occasion of Socialist anti-war meetings.
A great procession marched through the streets, and sanguinary encounters took place between the police and demonstrators. Many were wounded by revolver shots and sword thrusts, fourteen mortally. Thirty arrests were made.
