I was just reading a biography about Emperor Franz Ferdinand the other day when I found an interesting incident: in the June of 1914 when Ferdinand made a trip to Sarajevo, Serbian terrorists tried to assasinate the then-archduke. The first group of terrorists tried bombing his car, which bounced off the cover, and another one of the terrorists went to a cafe which was right by where Ferdinand was driving, and never noticed him. So what if that other terrorist noticed Ferdinand and shot him? How would the Austrians respond to his assassination?

(OOC: The POD is that Franz Ferdinand's driver doesn't make a wrong turn, so Princip never notices him.)
