Even without the fraught politics of Princip, the assassination that changed the world is a complex inheritance for Sarajevo. It is a famous mark of violence on a city that is trying to put that reputation behind it. But it is also a reminder, from a troubled and tiny nation that has at times struggled to remind the continent of its existence, that its history is Europe’s own.
And that doesnt even take in account how they struggled under Ottoman occupation before that and what exactly fight for a freedom means for that country.
Every moron can read Google nowdays and think they know something. But living in a country that has mentality of dealing with conquerors for centuries is something completely different. It is very easy to be a smartass and judge when you are sitting somewhere safe all your life.
