After being part of a failed assassination attempt on Franz - TopicsExpress



          

After being part of a failed assassination attempt on Franz Ferdinand earlier in the day, Gavrilo Princip was walking out of a coffee shop at the same time Ferdinands chauffeur took a wrong turn and drove towards him. Princip changed the world forever with a .32 caliber pistol 100 years ago today. My great-grandfather came home gassed and full of shrapnel, and tens of millions of potential great-grandfathers did not come home at all. All because Austria wanted to prove a point to Serbia, and Serbia shot back. Princip died of tuberculosis in jail in 1918.
