A Wrong Turn Started a World War!

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, on June 28, 1914, is often cited as the spark that ignited World War I. However, the chain of events that led to his death was marked by unexpected twists and coincidences. The assassin, Gavrilo Princip, was part of a group of Bosnian Serb nationalists who sought to end Austro-Hungarian rule over Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first attempt on Ferdinand’s life earlier that day had failed when another conspirator, Nedeljko Čabrinović, threw a grenade at the Archduke’s car, but it missed and exploded on a following vehicle, injuring several people. Despite this failure, Ferdinand insisted on continuing his planned visit to Sarajevo, even after the attack.

Later that afternoon, as Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, were being driven through the streets of Sarajevo, their driver, unaware of the changed route, made an incorrect turn. This unplanned detour took them directly to Gavrilo Princip, who had been waiting for an opportunity. With a single shot, he fatally wounded the Archduke and his wife, an act that would set off a series of diplomatic and military events leading to the outbreak of the First World War. What might have been a failed assassination attempt instead became the trigger for a global conflict that would result in the deaths of millions. This seemingly insignificant mistake—the wrong turn made by the driver—demonstrated how history could be altered by the smallest of details, a reminder of how fragile the course of world events can be. The consequences of that fateful day in Sarajevo would ripple through Europe, eventually involving nations across the world in a devastating war that reshaped global politics for decades to come.
