In 1911, a secret society was formed in the Balkans. One of it's members was supposedly responsible for the Sarajevo assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand which, in consequence, led to the outbreak of the First World War, which as any Ppruner knows, was won by the Americans. The name of that society has striking significance in this case and I wonder if there is any connection?
The society was called The Black Hand.
