A little backstory on Gavrilo Princip. He was a Serbian national in what was then known as Austria-Hungary. Many Serbs absolutely hated the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Well Princip and roughly 20 men thought it would be a great idea to assassinate the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand, when he and his wife were on a trip to Sarajevo. Long story short, they try to kill him on his parade route through the city and the plan goes awry; they fail. Princip is eating lunch at a diner and walks out and lo and behold, the Archduke is sitting in his vehicle right there when he walks out of the restaurant. Princip shoots and kills Franz Ferdinand, as well as his wife. Thus, setting in motion the events of WWI.

The German, Russian, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian Empires were all toppled due to this war; which really vaulted the entire world into its present day nations. It demolished the "old world" and put us into the "new world".

World War One pretty much wiped out an entire generation of Europe; as well as, set in motion the events that would kick off WWII.

Judging by present-day life, does Gavrilo Princip pull the trigger?
