Princip only accidently got to kill the archduke and his wife...

the original bomb was thrown under the wrong car...

the staff members in the car were badly wounded and rushed to the hospital..

the archduke ordered his drfiver to follow the car to the hospital but they got lost in the strange city and were wandering down the wrong street..

Meanwhile Princip was wandering dejected and defeated down by the river to throw himself in and drown in his despair...he and the other terrorists had failed..

He saw the car with the archduke coming and Princip just happened have a gun in his pocket...

He used it...

The archduchess had a white dress on...the red blood showed up nicely..

How different would the world be today if Archduke hadn’t made a wrong turn!

It is also interesting is that Princip only received a 20 year sentence for his crime. He was a bit too young by Austrian law to be executed.

You would think that the Austrians would have made an exception in this case, but they didn't.
