What if Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was not assassinated on 28 June 1914 by Gavrillo Princip and the Black Hand Gang? This could be as simple as the driver not taking a wrong turn and running directly into Princip. What impact would this have on World War I? Would war be prevented? Franz-Ferdinand was a moderate, despite having regressive attitudes towards Slavs, and favored adding a third Slavic kingdom to Austria-Hungary and giving ethnic minorities more rights and autonomy. It would have avoided war in 1914 without the events of July and August 1914. Could war be avoided or was it inevitable due to the historical forces already in place? If war still occurred, how would it go differently? How would the 20th century be effected by this one PoD of the driver going the right way, or Princip not being in that location to have a sandwich. What if?

What if? I believe it was only a matter of a time before war would brake out, with ore without Franz-Ferdinand being killed. |
