No.


The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the start of a chain of events which started WW1?

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was not a world leader.

He was first in line to the throne (of many countries), Franz Joseph was a remarkable 84 years old (and died two years later). Franz Ferdinand was about to formally take the role even though Franz Joseph strongly disapproved.

I guess you could call it a pre-emptive assassination of a world leader, he was assassinated because he would be an Emperor not because of his pre-Emperor status.

What sort of gobbledegook is that? He was assassinated because of who he was.

If he wasn't heir apparent he would not have been assassinated.

2nd in line was Charles 1 of Austria who was Franz Joseph's and many other people's preferred successor. Serbia had warned other countries that they were going to assassinate Franz Ferdinand, nobody took any action on the information, it was a planned assassination to prevent him becoming Emperor/King.
