[QUOTE="baklava, post: 4927429, member: 40182"] Yes the assassination was the spark that lit the “powder keg” but tensions had been building in Europe at the time for a number of reasons. To put the fall of the dominoes over the next several decades on Princip’s shoulders in an oversimplification. I believe the war was waiting to happen. Big picture, yes, WW1 basically ended monarchies in Europe. That system of government was untenable anyway. Of course the vacuum led to the rise of fascism, which was sorted out in WW2. If you like WW1 history I highly recommend Dan Carlin’s “Blueprint for Armageddon” series from his Hardcore History podcast. It’s a 6 part beast but worth the listen. I also just finished “Supernova in the East” which was WW2 from Japan’s perspective. Also a fantastic listen [/QUOTE]
