Franz Ferdinand was not the cause of WWI. WWI was caused by numerous geopolitical, economic, and societal conditions that all drove us towards it. Can I tell you what those conditions were and how exactly they led to WWI? No, because I'm an uneducated idiot who knows next to nothing about history. But at least I'm not dumb enough to believe that killing one guy led to the killing of 40 million others.
Oh, we have those, we have many conditions!
I mean you could say the same of today though
Well I mean Serbia is pretty proud of it having a statue of Gabril princip still standing today. The only reason they went ahead with it was because they knew if Russia was dragged in they would have their back. With the beef between HA and the other Western powers that also lead to the UK and such to pick a side.
It was definitely a factor that, if avoided, could have changed history. He was the final nail in the coffin for many people to get pissed off really bad.
