Okay for Serbians to gun down archdukes they don’t like, eh?.
Humanity would have been better off had the Anglophile Wilson stayed out of the war and let Kaiser Wilhelm stomp the Brits and French like bikers on a narc.
They assassinated the wrong guy.
Ferdinand was for treating Serbia fairly.
His opponent in the Austrian political circles was Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf, Vienna’s hardliner chief of staff.
But at least Serbia is now admitting that Gavrilo was their guy.
Only took a century..
Who’s left to complain at this point???
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..
However questionable the Austro-Hungarian rule over Serbia might be, Princip was an atheist anarchist motivated by hatred for Christianity. The outcome was the greatest nightmare ever visited upon Europe, leading to two world wars, 150 million dead, and the Communist destruction of Western Civilization.
Lately, I’ve developed strong sympathies for the newly avuncular Orthodox society in Eastern Europe, but if I ever needed reminding how demonic the Serbian regime is, this is it.

Unelected Monarchs are fair game. They are the very definition of despotism.
But anyway, he’s innocent. Killing two people with a 32 acp is impossible, ive read on gun threads that anything smaller than a 9 is essentially useless. So something else must have happened.
Problem was Franz Ferdinand was a progressive who wanted to reform the monarchy and liberalize the country. Princip killed the wrong guy
An odd person to build a monument to, but I can’t see any immediate ethical concerns.
