Friday, July 3, 1914. Tibetan borders, Austrian funeral.

A state funeral was held for the murdered Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Vienna.

The Simla Convention (西姆拉條約) was concluded between the United Kingdom and Tibet, but rejected by China, defining Tibetan borders and providing that Tibet would be divided into "Outer Tibet" and "Inner Tibet", with the outer region in the  "hands of the Tibetan Government at Lhasa under Chinese suzerainty" and "Inner Tibet", under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government. 

The convention fixed the border between Tibet and China and Tibet and British India.

It would last for only a year and never really be accepted.

Thursday, July 2, 1914. The military recommendation.

The German military recommends to Kaiser Wilhelm II that Austro Hungaria attack Serbia as soon as possible, as Germany could mobilize quicker than Russia or France.

It is announced that Kaiser Wilhelm will not attend Ferdinand's funeral.  He had planned to go and use the occasion as an informal peace conference, but Austro Hungaria had disinvited much foreign presence.

Bosnia and Herzegovina were placed under martial law.
