Thursday, November 5, 1914. Bears.

The United Kingdom and France declared war on the Ottoman Empire.  The UK, further, established  the Sultanate of Egypt in place of the khedivate formerly under the Ottoman Empire, making formal what had been sort of an informality about a titular Ottoman territory.  And, in addition, the UK annexed Cyprus.

Take that, Ottoman Empire.

A court martial against British Admiral Ernest Troubridge commenced.  His command had pursued but failed to capture the German battleships SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau before they reached Turkey.

Italian volunteers formed the Garibaldi Legion to support France in the Great War.

The Fraternal Order of the Bears was organizing a lodge in Casper.
