Hey guys,
for this semester's history project, I have to look at a contested event in history. now I don't exactly know how I got to this, but I chose the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
I found it easy to find resources and articles of opinions on his assassination but trying to find something that is different, not necessarily opposite just different.
I have found a good opinion/ article for the first perspective, written by the New Zealand Herald but have been unable to find a good comparison article :) link to NZ Herald Piece
So in a way, when Princip stepped out from that doorway and fired his pistol, he had the blood of almost 100 million people on his hands.
i would love to find more opinion pieces but it seems to be an ocean of articles all having the cookie-cutter approach to opinions/ conclusions .
my real question is there any modern or historical works that come to a different conclusion? perhaps saying that was was inevitable?
thanks
