On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary is assassinated in Sarajevo. Within weeks, the complex web of alliances triggers declarations of war. By August 4, major European powers are at war. The conflict lasts four years, killing over 16 million people. It reshapes empires, redrawing maps and establishing new nations. The war shatters the old European order.
Saturn in Cancer rules the invasion and violation of national homes and the use of weapons to enforce borders. Pluto in Cancer rules the death of imperial systems and the violent dissolution of old kingdoms. WWI represents Saturn-Pluto's manifestation: the enforced redrawing of national boundaries through Plutonian slaughter. Empires are destroyed; new nations emerge from the chaos.
