To my peoples!, in German An meine Völker!, in Czech Mým národ m! was a manifest signed by Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria-Hungary in Bad Ischl on July 28, 1914. The text announced declaration of war on Serbia, starting World War I. "To my people" was common headline of war manifests; it was used in declaration of war on Prussia in 1866 or in announcement of Italian entry to World War I (against Austria-Hungary) in 1915. Because Austria-Hungary was a multi-ethnic empire, ''people'' was made plural.
