The guy that suggested killing Gavrilo Pricep (guy that shot Franz Ferdinand, I think), clearly doesnt know about the other pressures that were present at the time, such as militarism, imperialism, and an arms race. The First World War was almost inevitable by 1914. It was just sparked off by the whole assaination, though preventing that would have changed when, and possibly how, and therefore the results, of the Great/First World War, though there was almost certainly going to be a war between all the European Great Powers Basically we were pissing each other off so much.
You would hav to assainate someone that could be blamed for causing all the pressures that led to the war, but I am fairly sure that would be almost impossible.
