I’ve long opined that Princip was by far the most influential person of the 20th century.

"I’ve long opined that Princip was by far the most influential person of the 20th century." You could certainly make a compelling case for that. I would give the edge to Vladimir Zworykin.

“I’ve long opined that Princip was by far the most influential person of the 20th century.”

Give Dan Carlin Hardcore History podcast a try. He just did a 6 part series on WW1 that was amazing. He concurs with you

I could not agree with you more.
Certainly WWI was the defining event of the entire 20th century. It is interesting that the 20th century began with problems in the Balkans and ended in the Balkans.
It was Bismarck who said war in the Balkans was “Not worth the healthy bones of a single Pomeranian grenadier.”
