Internal Jugular Veins Role in World War I
There are many causes for the World War I. But its outbreak has happened with an assassination that has something to do with Internal Jugular Vein.
Jugular Veins are an important veins in the head part of the body that carry deoxygenated blood back to heart. Internal Jugular Vein is very large one in them and the most vulnerable part of the body to cause quick death upon attack.
The term Jugular is actually used here because it refers to the most vulnerable. It is usually said “Go for the Jugular” when you want to get things done fast and easy. In other words go for the vulnerable spot.
The reason why internal Jugular vein is so vulnerable is because it is really large compared to other Jugular veins and results in death upon attack because it loses lot of blood when attacked. However it is not so easy to attack Jugular vein in your neck. It is somewhat sidewards to the neck and can be attacked by accident if not with accuracy.
Before World War I broke, we know that a murder has happened in Europe, said to be committed by Serbia’s black hand. Now that was in Sarajevo in Bosnia on 28 June 1914. A Serbian secret society nationalist or some referred to as terrorist has shot the heir of Austria-Hungary (Archduke Ferdinand). The assailant had shot him accidentally in his Jugular vein which resulted in rapid death (because of loss of blood). This event is noted in our history before to be the important event leading upto World War I. While desire for World War was there in world powers, some trigger was needed. That’s when you would really want to go for the Jugular, to get started quickly without wasting time.
