About this listen

 In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, the fateful shots fired on June 28, 1914, echo across continents. As Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie fall victim to the ambitions of a young nationalist in Sarajevo, the fragile peace of Europe shatters, sending shockwaves that reach far beyond the battlefield.

In Canada, a fervent excitement ignites as thousands of young men eagerly enlist to serve the British crown, while newspapers paint a glamourous picture of glory and heroism. But across the border, isolationist United States watches with ambivalence. A burgeoning capitalist frenzy unfolds as opportunists see war as a lucrative venture while leisure-seeking tourists cling stubbornly to their travel plans, oblivious to the storm brewing on the horizon.

1914, part one of the A Tale of Two Nations: Canada, U.S. and WW1 series, delves into the contrasting perspectives of Canadian and American newspapers’ coverage of the unfolding crisis.

Journey into a pivotal moment in history where patriotism and profit collide. Through the eyes of ambitious journalists, ardent soldiers and conflicted citizens, this gripping narrative unearths the contrasting reactions to war in two neighboring nations — a stark exploration of how a singular event can forge new destinies.
