Nor did he guess the country was about to descend into war." ([1])

The article is new, long enough at 51 000+ bytes and definitely interesting. I'm not quite happy with the wording of the hook, though, so I would suggest ALT2 be used. Both options are well sourced, as is the article as a whole. There are also no license concerns regarding the image and it is of good enough quality to feature on the home page. QPQ has also been done. Liam E. Bekker (talk) 11:01, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: I forgot to check during the initial review - Earwig's raises some concern re copyvio but a check of it shows the concern relates to a quoted and referenced section of the body. Should be no problems there. Liam E. Bekker (talk) 11:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
