August 1st, 1914: A Scene of Panic in Berlin as Diplomatic Relations Between Austria-Hungary and Serbia Deteriorate This powerful image captures the chaos and fear that gripped the people of Berlin as news of the impending war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia spread like wildfire. The date was August 1st, 1914, and the scene depicted in this photograph is that of a run on a savings bank in the heart of the city. The cause of the stampede was the breaking off of diplomatic relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, which had sent shockwaves through the population. The image, taken at nine o'clock in the morning, shows a sea of people, mostly women, rushing to collect their savings before the onset of war. The expression on their faces is one of desperation and fear, as they frantically try to secure their financial future in the face of an uncertain future. The scene is reminiscent of a stampede, with people pushing and shoving their way to the front of the line, determined to get their money before it was too late. The importance of this photograph lies in its ability to capture a moment in history when the people of Berlin were faced with the very real possibility of war. The breaking off of diplomatic relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia was a turning point in the lead-up to World War I, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of the fear and uncertainty that gripped Europe at that time. As we look at this photograph today, we are reminded of the power of news and information to shape the behavior of large populations. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of saving and financial security in times of uncertainty and instability.
