A simple wrong turn ended up changing the whole world.
What makes this assassination even more shocking is how many coincidences happened that day. Earlier, Princip and his group had already failedātheir bombs missed, and the cars sped away. Later, Franz Ferdinand wanted to visit the hospital to see the people who were hurt, but his driver didnāt know the new route.
By pure luck, the car stalled right in front of a cafƩ where Princip was standing, eating a sandwich. He saw the Archduke, pulled out his pistol, and shot Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie.
This one small momentāa wrong turn and a chance meetingāstarted a chain of events that pulled many countries into alliances, armies into action, and finally led the world into World War I.
