The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914, a catalyst for World War I, hinged on a series of mishaps, including a wrong turn. After a failed assassination attempt earlier in the day, the Archduke's driver took a wrong turn, inadvertently bringing the car within sight of assassin Gavrilo Princip. Seizing the unexpected opportunity, Princip fired the shots that set off a chain of events leading to the war. This mishap underscores the fragility of historical events, where a single moment of change can ignite a global conflict, altering the course of nations and the lives of millions.
