I read an analysis of hundreds of assassinations. In not one case did the assassin achieve his political goals. In this case, had the duke come to power, he most likely would have granted the political objectives the assassin’s wanted. He had written and said that the current policy was outdated and a bit of autonomy was called for.

It wasn’t his assassination that caused the war. Austria was looking for a reason to attack. It would have found one eventually. The German Kaiser had imprudently given Austria a blanket guarantee of support, not realizing what it would mean. Then, the Kaiser’s number two urged Austria to strike while the Kaiser was on holiday on his yacht and (in those days) out of the command loop.

I still think we need to kick the Kaiser in the can.
