The man he killed was the one man he would never have killed. Ferdinand didn't want war. He was the sole person against it. There are 2 alternative timelines I am curios about, 1. A timeline where princip had access to real information about Ferdinand as a person and his views against war 2. A timeline where Princip survives the war and is liberated. Would be interesting to see if he would have been able to truly start a state for his people and unite them under 1 banner or if he would have seen what the western powers, particularly the United States influence on the region, and align his people under the western flag.

The old couple a driver swerved to avoid in the intersection, who goes on to endow a new wing to the hospital where woman from Sierra Leon gives birth to the 57th President of these United States. Yes, the law of unintended consequences is always at play in the affairs of men.

They weren't "revolvers" that went missing. The assassins were not armed with revolvers. They were Browning designed FN 1910 .380 (9x17mm) pistols. All four have been accounted for and are in collections of museums or private collections. Princip used pistol, serial number 19074, to kill the Archduke. Yet, for some reason, the guns used have often been misidentified as "revolvers" or the Browning designed FN 1900 pistol. While all the time, all four pistols had been recovered, all were FN Model 1910 .380s. Go figure. The pistol is on display at the military museum in Vienna, Austria. Along with the car Ferdinand was riding in when he was assassinated.

Horrible stuff - really many levels beyond comprehension for those who never had to fight in war. Oddly, some of the very scenes depicted in the movie, "1917", he told me about in the 1960s.

He wasn't the cause, he was simply the catalyst. The samurai rebellion that ended in the death of 500 samurai and their culture was not caused by general Saigo or his students but rather the tension brought about by their unwillingness to modernize.

Damn. This was very informative. I had a Slovenian exchange student in 1995, I never did hear from him after he left that following year. I should have looked into the conflict better back then and understood his plight. He was the nicest dude. And he never brought up anything about it. Understandably. He never tried playing the poor me card. He was a stand up guy. Hindsight really sucks sometimes. I wish I would have been closer with him. . Hope your ok Alesh, wherever you are.....

Actually, they did almost fail. Two bombs were thrown that failed to kill the Archduke and Countess before the third was aborted. The young insurgents fled their separate ways to avoid getting caught. Gavrilo Princip went to a cafe to have lunch when the royals passed. He ran out there and killed them both. Yes, he was lucky.

Since history is written by the victors, he was written off as a petty "nationalist"....What you should have learned, is that him and his co-conspirators were terrorists, who were trained by the Al-Qaeda of the Balkans at the time, which was the Black Hand. Serbia was a state sponsor of terrorism, and Hitler should have blamed Serbia for WW1, instead of the Jews.

People can't understand one thing. Such complex things must be viewed from several directions of time and opportunity in Bosnia. As a Bosnian Serb, whose ancestors lived here for thousands of years, I know the details of the genocidal acts of the Austro-Hungarians in Bosnia. Many of them ended up in Austro-Hungarian death camps. The assassination in Sarajevo was a drop in the ice,the whole tense situation in Europe. To understand its origins, they would have to live here in the Balkans at the time. When asked at the trial in the fall of 1914 why he killed the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne, Gavrilo Princip answered: "The people suffer because they are completely orphans, because they consider them cattle ... I am a village son to take revenge and I am not sorry." is a turning point in what will happen. Princip's close friend Borivoje Jevtic told future historians that "when it comes to research and research of what is in us", the economic and political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina must be understood. Just a few hundred kilometers from Vienna, where modern European culture flourishes, where Gustav Klimt and Sigmund Freud created, the Austro-Hungarian political elite in Bosnia and Herzegovina maintains a feudal serf system. The Bosnian serf, like his father Gavril Princip, paid taxes to the emperor, taxes to the spahis, and was forced to pay the Austro-Hungarian administration. Although this period of European history is known as the Belle Epoque, it was not like that for many. Despite the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Gavrilo Princip grew up, has ten times more gendarmerie stations than schools, Austria-Hungary presented its government and administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina as "civilization missions". Senior Viennese officials said they were bringing "European culture" and "European values" to areas previously cut off from civilization and culture. "The Austro-Hungarian monarchy is not a 'European missionary' in Bosnia and Herzegovina," but a conqueror and kidnapper. Young Bosnians were aware that the mission of civilization was a cover for undemocratic government. . The Habsburg monarchy boasted of the magnificent facades of the Sarajevo City Hall, but the Young Bosnians noticed that no one was talking about the hundreds of police stations behind the City Hall. The occupier came to "exploit and peel, not raise." The people of Young Bosnia wrote that the occupier also brought "an army of hungry and unscrupulous officials" to divide the state with his colonists, and "tear the locals apart". Borivoje Jevtić pointed out that the assassins came from the ranks of "humiliated and insulted". Chased from the doorstep like a dog, a foreigner in his country, the Young Bosnian felt "where it hurt, "Jevtic noted. The details of his stay in prison have not been confirmed with certainty until today, and they are known only on the basis of the testimonies of individual prisoners and the memories of the guards. The prisoners in Terezin mostly served their sentences in horrible living conditions. They fed them irregularly, constantly tortured them, and if someone got sick - they were left to die rather than be treated. All these "treatments" were many times worse for the "emperor killer". It was rumored that Gavrilo received food only every fifth day, and that he was tortured every day in particularly cruel ways. Allegedly, they put it in a wooden barrel in which a lot of nails had been driven in before, so they would roll it in it while driving nails into Gavrilo tortured body. And one more thing, Gavrilo Princip declared himself a Yugoslav (atheist), and Young Bosnia was not a Serbian organization but a Yugoslav one that sought to unify all southern Slavs in any form. The members of Young Bosnia (many of whom participated in the assassination of Franz Ferdinand) were Serbs, Muslims and Croats. Gavrilo (Petar) Princip - 25 July 1894 - 28 April 1918, the voice of humiliated, insulted and oppressed,rest in peace!

I was taught of this guy in my sophomore year of high school 2002. Never forgot of him mostly because of his bizarre audacity to the likes of reaching Sir Ferdinand. Always thought it made for some of the classic villain backstory inspirations we ended up with.

Fantastic. In my (HS) senior history class, we were asked to write a final paper on a single topic: The most influential person of the 20th century (this was 1980). Most of my classmates chose Churchill, Hitler, FDR, or MLK. I chose Princip. As I recall, I earned an A-, but my biggest regret was not saving the paper. I think I tossed it after graduation. LOL.

The death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was not the reason for the start of WW1. In fact, nobody really cared about him becoming the next emperor. The emperor Franz Joseph didn't like him, nor did he consider Franz as a good successor for the throne. Even the people didn't care about him. In the day after, his death wasn't even front news in the papers. But his death was the perfect excuse, that Austrian Field Marshall Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf, needed to invade Serbia. In the last couple of years, Hötzendorf had made dozens of request for emperor Franz Joseph to allow the invasion of Serbia. But the emperor always said no. The death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was the perfect excuse to demonize and justified a war with Serbia. And it worked.

One random guy can't start a war, countries and their leaders can. Austro-Hungarian Empire already wanted a war so they could take over Serbian territories, Gavrilo Princip's actions were used as an excuse to do just that. If he didn't do anything on that day, they would just find some other reason to occupy Serbia, it was only a matter of time. So Gavrilo didn't start WW1, Austria-Hungary did.

"Everyone who knows a thing or two about politics and situtaion of that time can confirm this, look around the internet for a bit and you'll find the same answer." Nope. The topic is hotly contested among historians up to this day, with increasingly favourable views being afforded to interpretations pointing at just how not-inevitable WWI really was. I think Simon explained it rather concisely with the remark that had the shots been fired a bit earlier, or a bit later, things would have been very different. But even that aside, Austria-Hungary never desired any Serbian territory, mostly because Serbia was an economically dead backwater filled with a ton of extremely nationalistic slavs, and the Empire had quite enough of those at home. The demands for war coming from Hotzendorf (ignored by the Emperor as they were) were for a punitive war, to punish and humiliate Serbia, and force it's government back into the Austrian sphere of influence. No conquest or annexation was ever desired.
