Actually, what the Austrians did was out of the ordinary - very much so, in fact. And, for that matter, Serbia actually agreed to almost all of their demands. To agree to them all would have meant they effectively become part of A-H. No country on earth would have agreed to such moronic demands.

100% wrong about the Lusitania. While it did have some ammo in its holds - not something unusual even in peacetime - it was not only flying a neutral flag, but was an obvious cruise liner, whatever designation it may have had added as an afterthought. The idea that everyone on board was "army or spies" is ludicrous, and has not basis in fact whatsoever.

Not fabricated, I'm afraid. The vast majority of Allied propaganda about German actions in Belgium early in the war was actually true.
