    It was actually A III 118
    Read about it few years back but thanks for refreshing this memory! Now that we have read world histroy in detail, this coincidence is certainly spooky! What are the odds of it happening!

    The incident goes like this:-
    The car in which Franz Ferdinand was travelling on the day he was shot bore the number plate A III 118. The killing of the heir presumptive became the immediate cause for the start of World War-I.

    Interestingly, WW-I came to an end on 11th November 1918 with the signing of an Armistice Agreement. In short, Armistice on 11-11-18 which is the same as A 11 11 18.

    In short, the event which triggered the start of World War-I, also in a beautiful coincidence predicted the end of it!

    Here's a detailed article on the same:-
