The assassination of Franz Ferdinand led to World War 1

The assassination of Franz Ferdinand led to World War 1

World War 1 led to almost 40 million casualties, the fall of multiple empires, the Treaty of Versailles and possibly the rise of communism.

The Soviet Union and the rise of communism led to Stalin

Stalin led to the death of millions of people.

The Treaty of Versailles led to Hitler rising to power

Hitler's rise to power led to the Holocaust and World War 2

The holocaust led to 6 million Jews being killed and 5 million others being killed, World War 2 led to over 60 million people dying, the atomic bomb being developed, the atomic bombing of Japan and the Cold War

The atomic bombing of Japan and the American occupation turned Japan into what it is today, which in turn led to anime.

The Cold War led to millions of deaths and constant fear of nuclear war

The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was only successful because Gavrilo Princip happened to be eating a sandwich where Franz Ferdinand went after the first, unsuccessful, assassination attempt.

Mfw a sandwich led to Hitler, 6 million Jews being killed, over 100 million deaths related to war, The Soviet Union, Stalin, the Cold War and anime.

Best sandwich.

Probably a good sandwich. But, weren't the powers just waiting for an excuse to go to war and this was just the little push they needed? It seems like they would have made a border dispute into a war.

.t retard

It's not like the system of secret alliances wouldn't have turned any regional conflict into a European spanning general war. It's not like the Austro-Hungarians would have reacted like they did without Germany's "blank check". And it's certainly not like other tensions in the Balkans wouldn't have erupted if Franz Ferdinand avoids being shot.


Stop being stupid.

This. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was just an excuse and the great powers were headed towards war regardless. The difference is that, were it a few years later, Russia would have been industrialized enough to roflstomp Germany and Austria.

Should Franz have been held accountable for all the chaos and destruction his death caused?

Yeah, whether Princip was there or not world war one would still have happened, just a different trigger

>The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was only successful because Gavrilo Princip happened to be eating a sandwich where Franz Ferdinand went after the first, unsuccessful, assassination attempt.

Nice source faggot.

Yes. He should have been tried and executed as a war criminal.

Picture of said sandwich.
/pol/ is always right.

>The Treaty of Versailles led to Hitler rising to power
Meh, Germany would have lost her shit without anyway.

>The Treaty of Versailles led to Hitler rising to power
The treaty of Versailles wouldn't have been so shitty for Germany if Germany wasn't cunts against France after the Franco-Prussian war.

Start shit get hit, Hans.

>The assassination of Franz Ferdinand led to World War 1
Wrong. It triggered WW1 but wasn't the reason for WW1. The assasination was just the final straw for a inner european war because of all the tension between european nations.

The first mention of a sandwich being involved in any source was in a fictional novel called Twelve Fingers: Biography of an Anarchist, written in 2001.

why did AH dislike the serbs so much? I know they were just looking for a reason to go to war, but never knew what their problem was in the first place

They had recently broken free from the empire

>The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was only successful because Gavrilo Princip happened to be eating a sandwich where Franz Ferdinand went after the first, unsuccessful, assassination attempt.
Not only that.

He wasn't even supposed to be there but his driver couldn't read the map properly.

Is this a bait? Making obviously false claims? Everybody knows that the sandwich bit is a myth. That one fucking documentary series was really influential it seems.

Also your numbers are wrong.

Its true. But the other thing that went wrong was that the driver didnt change the route back to the hotel.

it was not a sandwich you mega faggot

>The Treaty of Versailles led to Hitler rising to power
no, the great depression did

>Its true
It's not. There was no sandwich. Princip went to wait for the motorcade further down its (original) route.

Trump will lower the taxes on the rich.

Your right, he went na kafe.

Yeah! It's the German's fault that the Austrians wanted to go to war!

Must be exhausted from all those mental gymnastics.

>Is this a bait?

Ding ding ding, we have a winner

Serbs supplied Princip and his fellows with weapons and explosives to carry out the assassination. Even today Princip is still seen as a hero in Serbia. The Balkan is just a really retarded place.
