So Princip was to blame for World War I. Or… was it the driver Leopold Lojka who took the wrong turn? The passengers who did not tell Lojka of the new route? Perhaps, it was Ferdinand for wanting to console the injured? Or, the policemen for reacting too slow? Count Harrick who lended his uncovered limousine? Danilo ilić who gave the tools and the instructions to the assassins? Or perhaps, those who had been calling for a preventive war against Serbia for years, like the Austrio-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph, General Conrad von Hötzendorf, and Berchtold? The Serbian Prime Minister Pašić for not censoring newspapers celebrating the assasination? Kaiser Wilhelm II and the German government for giving their war approval to the Habsburgs? The aggressively long arms race of the European powers since the 1890s? The extraordinary industrial, demographic, cultural, political, imperial, nationalist preconditions of the previous decades? ‘Yes’.
