As I understand it, Franz Ferdinand was one of the many murder victims who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The story I learned is that he drove by the bar where Gavrilo Princip and his Black Handers were hanging out commiserating the fact that the bomb they planted didn´t kill the Archduke. What if they had gone to another bar? Would there have been another damn fool thing in the Balkans or could we have avoided a great war ?
