As Americans should we talk more about Gavrilo Princip and his role in our history?

The butterfly effect of history fascinates me.
Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Ferdinand which eventually led to WW1 and Europe wiping much of itself out to the United States’ benefit. Of course WW1 led to WW2 and our eventual superpower status.
I actually think if one looks at how things shook out Gavrilo Princip is one of the most important people to the United States’ history. A person could have told him that his actions were going to indirectly help create the most powerful and arguably most prosperous country in the history of the world.

It was a tragedy for the western world.

WWI was the beginning of the end of the Republic. If Princip is to be remembered for his contributions to this country, it should not be fondly.

Congrats on listening to Dan Carlin

I think he is pretty well recognized as one of the most pivotal figures in world history.

He is very important in history, but America was already heading towards greatness about two decades before. Our industrial might was maturing in the 1890s, our banking industry was starting to increase. Also, our population began to explode. Now, with war comes technological breakthroughs that increase productivity, but let’s not act like America wasn’t already pushing her weight around in the world’s oceans before that fateful day.

I was at the Archduke's vacation castle outside of Prague in May
Nice little crib
He actually survived the first attempt

WWI was already ripe to happen, he just accelerated it. The Treaty of Versailles guaranteed WWII.
